Getting Started

Getting Started

Welcome to Fast Travel Not Included — a multiplayer dungeon crawler where you explore a procedurally generated world, fight monsters, and level up. There is no fast travel. You walk every step.

Creating an Account

  1. Open the game in your browser
  2. Click "Need an account? Register"
  3. Enter your email and password
  4. Click "Create account"

You'll be redirected to character selection.

Character Slots

You have 3 character slots. Each slot holds one character (or is empty). From the character selection screen you can:

  • Create a new character in an empty slot
  • Play (or Continue) an existing character
  • Delete a character permanently (red trash icon, confirmation required)

Clicking Play takes you into the game world.

Creating a Character

When creating a new character you choose:

Name

Enter a name (3-32 characters). This is how other players see you.

Archetype

Pick a preset or go Custom:

Archetype STR REF INT FOR Style
VANGUARD 4 1 0 3 Tough melee fighter, high HP
RANGER 2 4 1 1 Fast striker, good evasion
ARCANIST 1 2 4 1 Magic damage dealer
CUSTOM Distribute points freely

Stat Points

You have 8 points to distribute across four stats (0-8 each):

  • Strength (STR) — Physical damage, HP, carry capacity
  • Reflex (REF) — Speed, hit chance, evasion, some mana
  • Intelligence (INT) — Magic damage, mana, mitigation
  • Fortitude (FOR) — HP, carry capacity, technique capacity

The creation screen shows a live preview of your HP, Mana, and Stamina as you adjust stats. Spend all 8 points to finalize.

Tip: See Tips for build advice.

Starting the Game

After creating a character and clicking Play, the world loads: a top-down map with a HUD in the top-left corner.

From here, you're on your own. Walk. Fight. Craft. Survive.
