WYRDGEARD — A Saxon Village Survival Strategy Game
878 AD. The Great Heathen Army has carved Viking rule across Northumbria.
Lords are dead. Armies have scattered. Only Ravenmoor remains.
You lead the last survivors of a fallen village deep inside Viking-held
territory. Every day you gather resources, build defenses, and prepare.
Every night, the enemy comes. Survive long enough, and Ravenmoor will
grow strong enough to do the unthinkable: strike back.
🛡️ BUILD BY DAY
Explore the surrounding wilderness and scavenge abandoned houses,
churches, warehouses, and armories for wood, stone, food, and weapons.
Construct fences, watchtowers, farms, and storage to keep your village
alive through the harshest winter.
⚔️ DEFEND BY NIGHT
When darkness falls, Viking raiders attack. Take aim, hold the line,
and protect every villager you have left — because in Wyrdgeard, death
is permanent. Lose them, and you lose everything they could have built.
🏰 CONQUER THE DANELAW
This isn't just survival — it's a campaign of conquest. March against
the Five Boroughs of the Danelaw: Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln,
and Stamford. Defeat their Jarls, claim their lands, and grow Ravenmoor
from a forgotten village into a rising power.
Your final target: Jorvik, the Viking capital of Northumbria itself.
📖 A STORY TOLD THROUGH HISTORY, NOT CUTSCENES
No dialogue trees. No interruptions. Each chapter unfolds through
in-world documents — chronicles, war journals, intercepted letters,
captured enemy orders — written as if pulled straight from a 9th-century
archive. Read between the lines, and you'll find your next objective
hidden inside the history itself.
