Boat

a boat lies at the dock: E to board and leave, W and S for speed, A and D to steer. Across the sea lie four large islands: Ashland, Frostland, Shroomwood and the Sand Sea

Map

tap the map (or press M) for the whole world

Signposts

posts by the square point to everything on the island; a sunken path leads to the dock and to every building

Water

in deep water you swim automatically. The main island is safe; enemies live on the other islands, and sharks hunt swimmers out at open sea. Stay in the boat, or fight them with a melee weapon

X

whistle for your bird (ask Falka the falconer for one). Flying: W faster, S slower, A and D steer, Space climbs, C or Shift dives, E jumps off

Diving

while swimming hold C or Shift (or Dive) to go down, Space (or Up) to rise. Watch your air bar. Down below: fish, turtles, coral, sunken chests and three sea caves. Odo sells lead boots (L: walk on the sea floor), a diving tank, flippers and a diving mask

Q

switch weapons (you find weapons in treasure chests)

B

open your bag: gold, bandages, wood and weapons

H

use a bandage (restores 3 health)

Loot

chests and defeated skeletons drop gold and supplies; walk over them to pick them up

Duels

travellers can hurt each other with any weapon, anywhere on the islands, and cannot walk through each other

Trader

Odo keeps a stall beside the stone circle. Spend gold on bandages, wood, tonic, a whetstone and weapons, or sell him wood

Watchtower

a wooden tower stands on the main island: E at the ladder to climb, E at the telescope to look through it. Drag to look, scroll or pinch to zoom; zoom in on something to read what it is

Trees

strike a tree with a melee weapon to chop it down for wood. Three wood builds a campfire (from your bag) that heals whoever rests beside it

Enter

talk to whoever is nearby

Time

a full day lasts 24 minutes; there is music, a rooster at dawn and a wolf when night falls

On the island now

Nobody else is here right now.

Storystone is a shared 3D adventure that runs in your browser. Everyone wakes up in the same harbour village on the home island, a safe place to learn, trade and gather quests. Across the sea lie four islands ruled by lords of bone, with sea caves, sunken treasure and sharks in between. Sail there together: one captain, the rest aboard.
