Exile's World
Populated by humans long ago, the continent's heritage remains hidden in ruins, now inhabited by strange beings. Learn their tales and decide whose side you're on in the factional competition for a new dwelling place.

Unravel the Mysteries of the Soul Crystals
Discover powerful magic crystals entrapping the souls of past heroes. You aren't the only seeker, as a fallen prince searches for a crown to subdue emerging factions. Discord runs deep, but could a mutual adversary unite you?

An ecosystem full of possibilities.
Drawing inspiration from giants like CS:GO and Eve Online, Shelter of Exiles introduces a marketplace, enabling the trade of various resources and in-game items. Imagine the potential of this economy, considering that CS:GO skins alone are worth $1.3 billion, and in Eve Online, spaceships are traded for over $35,000!

We aim to set a new standard in the web3 world with our approach to the in-game economy. On one side, we have premium players investing in exclusive content, and on the other side, free-to-play players engaging their time to acquire valuable items. It's a beautiful collaboration and a symphony of ecosystems, where each side finds value and benefits.

The planned debut on Steam in February 2024 with a demo version is a significant step toward building an impressive player base, allowing an easy transition from the traditional web2 platform to the fascinating web3 technology.
