Out in the world, Tuchten explores off the main road, stopping for such distractions as petting a pig, speaking to a child who wants nails for their treehouse, and avoiding a group of bandits. It’s still exceptionally pretty. Look at that water.

Partway through, Tuchten uses a skill that turns his character into a deer who can gallop across the world quicker than a human. He collects reagents for magic, goes fishing, and trades with the blacksmith at his destination. There are survival elements as well like tiredness and hunger, which Tuchten says aren’t the “major aspect” of the game but still important.
Tuchten refers to combat and difficult areas in the world that will require advanced skills, though we don’t see that in this demo. Although it wasn’t shown off here, I imagine finding out how combat works will be another quite important reveal as Book Of Travels continues development.
It’s seems to be a quiet, thoughtful experience and I’m still so eager to see how it holds up to player behavior. So far, I’ve gotten the feeling that Book Of Travels is aiming for a minimalist multiplayer experience like Journey with a magic system that favors preparedness likeOutward. I’ll admit I’m hanging some of my bottled up dissatisfaction with modern MMOs on Book Of Travels but it does truly look like a lovely, novel experience.
And oh, the music. Listen to the music.
Might And Delight say that Book Of Travels will enter early access sometime in 2021. You can find iton Steamin the meantime.
