About

Friendpire

Features
Read full description

Friendpire is a cozy world-building game. The characters are people you actually know. Start with a small island. Invite friends, and once they accept, they appear in your world. You pick the job: fishing, farming, chopping wood, or mining. They keep working while you sleep. Come back and collect what they made. The sea is land you have not bought yet. Spend what your friends gather to grow the island, and build docks, farms, mines, and houses. Hug a friend once a day and their work gets a boost until midnight. A fox visits to rob a tile. Bonk him and launch him into the sea. Your world is private. You might send a friend to the mines, while in their world you are the one fishing. Either of you can end the friendship at any time. You can put your real face on your character, or keep the painted look. When you change how you look, your friends see it too. There is no score to chase, and nothing falls apart if you stay away. It is a small empire made of your friends.
