Four players around a lakeside camp in different armor sets: one fishing off the dock, two by the campfire, one at the anvil.

The brambles are coming back early this year.

Brambletide is a small online RPG you play in your browser. Fish off the town dock, cook what you catch, hammer out a better helmet, and go find out who's been planting black thorns in the forest.

Free to play. Still being built. Nothing to install.

What you actually do

It's an MMO, so there are other people around: in town, at the fishing spots, in the dungeons.

Fight with your feet

Monsters show you where they'll hit. Step aside, roll through, hit back.

Fishing is a real skill

Different water, different time of day, different rod, different fish. Some of them pull hard. Cooked over a campfire, they're also the best buffs you can get, so the people who fish end up feeding the people who fight.

Gather and craft

Mine ore and chop wood, then smelt and smith it into gear. Now and then a piece comes off the anvil better than the recipe. Whatever you wear shows on your character.

Bring friends

Form a party of up to four, join a guild, or trade at the town board.

Take it slow

No rush. Fish at dusk, cook dinner, log off whenever you like.

Runs in a browser tab

No launcher, no download. Open the page on a desktop browser and you're in.
