Some are friendly. Some only come out at night.
Openworld is played on a computer: Mac, Windows or Linux. Send yourself the link, we'll be waiting on the other side.
Openworld's planet is home to 63 creature species, from cats, dogs and kangaroos to dolphins, golems and yetis. Some can be tamed, most just go about their lives, and each one is a voxel model with its own animations: click the ones on this page, they react.
When the Sun goes down, others wake up. Our guide to night monsters tells you which ones come out, where they appear and how to keep them outside your walls. The difficulty levels decide how many there are, and on Easy there are none at all.

Yes. Openworld has been playable since the first day of its alpha. Download it for Mac, Windows or Linux, create your account in the launcher and play: there is no release date to wait for.
Openworld isn't on Steam or any other store, and you don't need one: you download the game from this site, today, and its launcher keeps it up to date.
Alpha: the game is playable and grows with every update; things move and sometimes break. When it is more stable, it becomes a beta, then its official version. It's the same game all the way: you play now, and the launcher installs each new version by itself.
You play right away, you watch the game grow update after update, and the alpha costs less than the official version will.
Normal for now: the app doesn't have its Apple certificate yet. Click Done, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Openworld and click Open Anyway. Just once.
The installer doesn't have its certificate yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.
Extract the archive and run the program:
tar xzf Openworld-linux-x64.tar.gz && ./Openworld
You need a Vulkan graphics driver (Mesa or NVIDIA) and glibc 2.31 or newer (Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11, Fedora 32 or newer).
A Vulkan-capable graphics card (on a Mac, macOS 11 or newer). The game adjusts its view distance and weather quality: a recent laptop is enough.
Update your graphics driver from NVIDIA's, AMD's or Intel's website. On a laptop with two graphics cards, update both. On Linux, install the Mesa Vulkan drivers (mesa-vulkan-drivers).
