Gameplay

Terraverse is a P2E action-adventure game in an open forest with elements of survival and roguelike gameplay. Combat and collecting resources are handled by pointing and clicking with the mouse. The goal is to survive as long as possible, and a count of the number of days the player has survived is shown onscreen. The player earns tokens by killing enemies attacking and the total number of tokens earned is also shown onscreen. The default playable character, unlocked upon installation of the game has to be purchased, so also the subsequent nft characters can be unlocked with tokens earned or bought by the player. The game is designed in increasing difficulty which will require the player to unlock stronger characters with each stronger character been more valuable.

The game relies on a day and night cycle that causes meaningful fluctuations in gameplay style. During the day, the player spends most of their time exploring the forest: gathering food, firewood, and other resources, discovering crafting recipes to combine available items, and avoiding enemies. When nightfall comes, more dangerous animals and zombies attack the player. Crafting from recipes allows the player to build shelter, weapons, and tools like axes. Players can also search for food items and drink water for sustenance to prevent themselves from deteriorating strength as a result of hunger.

Death can occur in a variety of ways. Hunger worsens by default. When the hunger meter reaches zero, it begins to chip away at health, which will eventually result in the player's death. Players have a health bar which apart from hunger effect also got depleted from enemy attacks or taking large falls, as well as a stamina bar that drains as players perform actions like running and attacking. To replenish either bar, players can eat food. This can not only restore health and stamina, but can also temporarily increase how much of each the player has, depending on the variation and quality of the food that is eaten. A large variety of creatures can attack the player resulting to death. Some creatures, such as zombies and skeleton spawn also attack the player as the days goes by which will require stronger characters to defeat them easily.
