Two travellers, one knot

Athar is built around a bond between two players. The longer you walk together, the stronger it grows.

Tie

Find a partner and bind a Twin Knot at the Knot Garden.

Share

What one of you earns, the other shares.

Mend

Heal your partner in a fight and keep each other standing.

Choose your path

Every hero starts as a Newcomer

The Archer is the third path. Each one branches again at level 10.

A small world, made with care

Everything in the demo is original: the town of Kettlebright, the meadows of Dapple Hills, the music and the creatures.

Heroes

Choose your path

Start as a Newcomer, pick Fighter, Archer or Mage at level 5, and grow a skill tree with two points every level.

The forge

Upgrade, repair, craft

Take your gear to Tobren the smith. Scrolls and gems in four tiers raise it from +1 all the way to +15, if luck is with you.

A living world

Meadows full of life

Deer graze and bolt, songbirds flutter off as you pass, koi drift in the garden ponds and frogs leap from the rim.

Quests

Walk me there

Fifteen story quests and three fresh bounties every day. Every task shows its distance and an arrow; one click and your hero walks the safe way there.

Together

Friends, party, guild

Chat in All, Party, Guild and Private, invite friends to a party of six, and found your own guild.

Made for the Gulf

Fully in Arabic

Every menu, quest and line of dialogue in Arabic and English, with right-to-left layout done properly.

From grey to golden

Regular, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary. Legendary items burn with golden flames, and every upgrade shows on the item, up to +15.

Questions

Is the demo free?

Yes. No account to buy and nothing to pay.

Do I need a partner to play?

No. You can play alone, and helper adventurers walk the world with you. The Twin Knot adds shared XP, healing and travel when you do play with a friend.

Is it really in Arabic?

Every menu, quest and line of dialogue, with a proper right-to-left layout. Switch language any time in Settings.

Does it run on a Mac?

Not yet. The demo is for Windows 10 and 11. Mac players can try it through CrossOver or Parallels until a Mac version is ready.

Windows says it protected my PC. Is it safe?

That message appears for any new program that isn't signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. Signing comes before the full release.
