Squarelands is a sandbox adventure built around exploring a randomly generated world and growing stronger through combat, building, and crafting. Its design takes inspiration from Terraria while emphasizing freedom to shape a journey through a changing landscape.
The world follows day and night cycles, and its activities include mining, fishing, and farming alongside crafting and construction. Procedural map generation gives exploration a variable setting, while hundreds of items and objects support different ways to engage with the sandbox.
Progress carries risk: Squarelands includes death penalties, with optional permadeath for players seeking a harsher consequence. Key rebinding is also listed, allowing controls to be adjusted. Together, these features frame the game as an open-ended mix of discovery, resource gathering, and survival-minded adventure.
