Beyond the Map takes the player to a changing fantasy world, where each new journey is randomly generated. Territories are created with unique resources, enemies, and layouts. To survive, you have to collect materials and build a shelter that serves as a support and warehouse. Skirmishes with opponents occur regularly, forcing you to monitor your stamina, equipment durability, and limited recovery options. Moving forward is associated with constant forays into unknown areas, which require caution and flexible tactics.
