WalkScape is an RPG game inspired by RuneScape and other MMORPGs. However, it has one glaring difference: you don't play it actively. Instead, you gain progress by walking in real life. The game has a massive open-world map with over a hundred locations for the player to explore. The world is filled with lore, NPCs, quests, and activities for the player to engage in, and more! Our goal with the game is to encourage an active lifestyle and promote both mental and physical health.

WalkScape is in closed beta, which means you need to be invited to play. We invite players who have filled out an application as we need new testers. The queue times vary, but most players get an invite after a few months. You are guaranteed an instant invite to the game if you have supported the project on Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee.

WalkScape plans to leave closed beta once we have the following missing features:

• Smartwatch support
• Trading
• Quests
• Combat

• No GPS. Instead, the game utilizes the pedometer built into your smartphone, which enables you to play it on a treadmill or by walking anywhere you choose. Furthermore, the game will track your progress even when it is not open or active.
• Distraction-free gameplay. You do not need to have the game opened while exercising. Our game design is geared towards this, meaning you'll only need to open the game when you return home. We balance the game around needing to be opened once every one-thousand to ten-thousand steps, depending on your goals in-game.
• Online features. Although not many are in the game today, we plan to offer a plethora of multiplayer features, including a marketplace to sell your items to other players, PvP and PvE combat, a party system, guilds, and more!
• Loads of content. The game already boasts hundreds of unique items, dozens of unique locations, nine skills to grind, and plenty of fun activities for players.
• No microtransactions or advertisements. We value our players and our community, and are committed to avoiding predatory monetization practices. As such, the game will be offered free-to-play, with options to purchase it one time or pay an affordable subscription fee.

The game is available through Google Play Store (Android) and Testflight (iOS).

Yes. You can play the game stepping in place, walking around your house, on a treadmill, while shopping for groceries. Play where you feel safe.

The iOS version of the game already supports smartwatches, but support on Android is still in development.

• Offline mode - One time purchase. You’ll be able to pay once to download the offline mode of the game. You’ll receive future content updates, not have a requirement to be online to open the game, and have a slider that multiplies your steps to reach the game experience that you wish. No multiplayer features.
• Online mode - affordable monthly subscription. You’ll need to be online to play the game, but you’ll receive future content updates and all multiplayer features that the game has to offer.
• Free to play area - both forms of the game will have a free to play area that can be enjoyed for free.
