Questions people ask
How do I play?
Move with the arrow keys or A and D. Jump with Space, W, or Up. Shed a carried layer with Shift or X. Hold F to Focus on what is around you. Tab opens the local map. Touch controls appear on phones and tablets, and standard gamepads work too.
What am I supposed to do?
Explore. Every level has an exit, but reaching it is never the only thing worth doing. Discoveries, alternate routes, and the beings you meet all deepen the journey, and the game notices.
Why do I keep getting bigger and slower?
You are carrying. Every layer you pick up makes you safer, heavier, and less fluid. Some routes need that weight. Others need you light. You can shed a layer any time with Shift or X. Neither way is the right way to be.
Can I die?
No. If you are caught without armor, you dissolve, return, and begin again. Nothing you have learned or discovered is lost.
Are those enemies?
No. Every being in FURTHER has its own nature and a way to be met. Hold F near one and the game will show you how it wants to be approached. Notice who calls them enemies.
Does my progress save?
Yes, automatically, in your browser on this device. If you clear your browser data, the journey starts fresh.
What happens at the end?
