Frequently Asked Questions

What do you mean by survival game?

Well, basically it's a giant "king-of-the-hill" match. Except in this case, falling off the hill gets your character killed. Your goal in the game is to survive as long as you can, with all the odds stacked against you.

So does that mean I can be killed multiple times in one game?

Yup! In fact, some people make a game out of how many times they're killed in one game (we of course keep stats on who's died the most times). You can even be killed when you're not playing the game.

What is a web game?

It is a video game that is played on the web.

What is a persistant world?

That means that the game is always running, even when you're not logged on. It also means that all the characters in SotF share the same environment. The game map looks exactly the same for you as it does for everyone else. The economy system continues to evolve. Etc, etc, etc.

Is this one of those shallow featured games that I've seen on some personal web sites?

No. SotF has a huge number of features that continues to grow. It is sort of like a choose your own adventure storybook on steroids. It offers all of the features of a large video game, but leaves much of your view of the story up to you, like a good book.

So where can I learn how to play the game?

Once you get into the game, you'll see a menu called "Documentation." The items in that menu will tell you everything you need to know to play SotF.

Where can I sign up?

On the account page.
