About Smalland: Survive the Wilds
Smalland: Survive the Wilds casts you as a Vanguard returning to the surface after the giants vanished. The story urges bravery as you explore the “Land of the Small,” a world where everyday objects loom like massive terrain.
The game mixes action‑adventure and RPG elements in an open world filled with dense forests, hazardous swamps, and ancient ruins. Weather and seasons shift constantly, so preparation, creature taming, encampment building, and armor crafting are essential for survival, whether you play alone or with up to ten friends.
01 / THE GUIDE
Scaled Exploration
Lake‑sized puddles act as bodies of water, skyscraper‑tall trees dominate the horizon, and road cracks become cavernous passages, creating a miniature perspective that defines navigation.
Hidden NPCs scattered across forests, swamps, and ruins provide lore fragments, encouraging players to venture off main routes and examine the scaled environment closely.
- Use high ground to spot distant landmarks.
- Compare feature sizes to real‑world objects for better orientation.
02 / THE GUIDE
Creature Taming and Mounts
Recipes let you tame critters such as Grasshoppers, Damselflies, and Spiders, turning them into mounts that expand mobility across the oversized terrain.
Each mount behaves differently—Grasshoppers enable long jumps, Damselflies provide swift aerial travel, and Spiders allow rapid ground movement—affecting route choice and obstacle handling.
- Test each mount in an open area before tackling complex terrain.
- Observe how mounts react to slopes and water.
03 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Co‑op
Online multiplayer supports up to ten players who can explore, fight, and build together, fostering teamwork in a shared wilderness.
The player limit is explicit; groups must coordinate within that cap when constructing encampments, defending against hostile fauna, or completing objectives.
- Assign simple roles such as builder, scout, or defender.
- Communicate weather changes to adjust group plans.
04 / THE GUIDE
Encampment Building
Resources can be scavenged or refined into multiple material tiers—from leaves and twigs to sturdy stone—allowing construction of ground or tree‑top encampments.
Materials range from leaves and twigs to sturdy stone, and where you place your encampment—on the ground or atop vast trees—shapes your settlement.
- Build higher to reduce encounters with ground predators.
- Mix material tiers to balance quick builds with long‑term resilience.
05 / THE GUIDE
Armor Crafting and Abilities
Powerful armor sets grant resistances and abilities, such as winged armor for gliding or gear equipped with grappling hooks for tree traversal.
Choosing specific armor changes how you interact with environmental hazards and combat threats, offering trade‑offs between mobility and protection.
- Test armor mobility before engaging in combat.
- Combine resistances to cover multiple environmental hazards.
