OMG, fuckin sold! LMAO
Right?
I am a dad to one year old twins and I feel this comment in my bones.
God help you and your family.
Is it just me or is it impossible to just find a link to the steam page on any gamesradar article ever.
Here you go, suh!
Game is Erenshor.
Thank you. Should be a damn rule you have to link the game in the post

Massively single-player. I like it.
If you're interested in this sort of thing and like action/adventure rpgs, give Crosscode a shot. it's excellent
Hi!
Lea!
The people downvoting you have never experienced perfectly regular trees (and don't understand CrossCode inside jokes).
Respect for the GOG link (gotta reduce Steam's monopoly-like grip on digital games), but... CrossCode, despite its fantastic presentation, wore me down to the point of not finishing it. I feel like the devs ran out of ideas halfway through because all of the dungeons involve multiple ricochet-angling puzzles, even all the way to the last one. They just got so tedious and boring that I eventually ended up "finishing" by watching someone else's play-through.
It has an interesting plot, but... yeah. Anyway, that was my personal experience.
I struggled with it as well. My main problem seemed to be that no matter how many side quests I did, I was still underleveled for most enemy encounters. I did read that upgrading gear is worth more than levels, but it was such a grind to go and find all the materials that I eventually got bored. Shame though, because it's really well made.

I had the exact same thought when I read the premise. One of my favorite indie games of all time.

I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.
It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.
When did .Hack//Sign come out, again? 🤔
.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time
I've been playing through the first one. It's definitely a good time.
It's so fucking weird that this game/anime is all I've been thinking about for the last week and now to see it mentioned in the wild, unprompted.
Guys, quit mind reading/algorithming me. This and the ghibli shit. No one should have to vibe this much with the internet.
@cm0002 This puts me in the mind of the old .hack// series of single-player JRPGs, but from a Western perspective.
If they take some creative liberties with it to give it its own distinct feel and narrative, as the .hack// games did in their day, it could be a pretty charming game once it's out of Early Access.
Goat simulator had an mmo simulator.
There was also an achievement for licking a friend, if you played at the same time as one of your friends, they may pop up as one of the ingame NPCs.
It's actually pretty fun especially if you're watching something on another screen and just like to grind for items/levels. They have a free demo as well so I'd suggest anyone that finds this concept interesting to try it out!
They even have simulated global chat where people are assholes to each other lol very true to life.
But will they play like idiots and then offend my mom when I complain? Otherwise I'm not buying.
Ill offend your mom right now.

Tldr: Game title is ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor. That article (as well as many others nowadays) don't even bother putting a link to the steam page. And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about. Internet now is so crappy and click baity. The game looks fun though, so I'll go out of my way and actively search for ~~Enshrouded~~ Erenshor on steam myself like a peasant.
Edit: I managed to have the game name wrong, hence the importance to have ready to click links!
Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded.
You sure about that? FTA
The oxymoronic single-player MMO Erenshor, which has slowly been becoming a Steam superstar since 2023
Seems like it might have been autocorrect, but thats kinda hilariously ironic.

It's a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I'm all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only "FMMORPG". I'd love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.
I feel like it could be a really clever way of making a horror game
I wish I could play single player old school RuneScape on my SteamDeck so bad. Sitting mining rocks while I watch TV in bed would go so hard
I don't go for early access games but hot damn am I tempted. But if I lose a roll for a good bit of loot to a bot I'm gonna be pissed.
Just part of the mmo experience lol. Other player is a warrior and selected "need" on a wizard staff
I'd love to play WoW with this.
Didn't Shroud of the Avatar do this first?
No, the .hack series did. I believe the first game came out 23 years ago
kingdom of amular or something technically too, it was like an mmo that got turned into a single player game part of the way through development, could be another game from the ps3 im thinking of

It certainly sounds interesting
Dragon Age: Inquisition feels rather like a single-player MMO.
