Sleeping Gods is a campaign game. You can play sessions as long as you like. Mark your progress on a journey log sheet when taking a break and easily resume later. Play solo or with friends. Your goal is to find at least fourteen totems hidden worldwide. Like reading a book, you'll complete the journey in one - or two - hour chunks, discovering new lands, stories, and challenges.
It's also an atlas game. Each atlas page shows a small part of the world. When you reach a page's edge, turn to a new page and keep sailing.
As a storybook game, each location offers wild adventures, hidden treasures, and vivid characters. Your choices impact the characters and plot, affecting your chances of getting home.
Welcome to a vast world. Your journey starts now.
