Exploration
Walk straight ahead… and come back to where you started
Most voxel worlds are flat. In Openworld the planet is round: walk straight and you come back to your start. How cubes fit on a sphere, and how far it is.
Guides & discoveries
Everything you'll find out there.
The round planet, its caves, its sky and its Moon, building, survival, playing with friends… Each guide shows you a piece of the planet, live in 3D, before you set foot on it.
Openworld is played on a computer: Mac, Windows or Linux. Send yourself the link, we'll be waiting on the other side.
