About Share the Load

A co-op adventure where the journey is everything. Travel alone or with friends, protect a powerful orb, and brave a world filled with peril on your quest to destroy it. Every challenge strengthens or breaks your party. Will you reach the end of the road without breaking?

JOURNEY TOGETHER

Travel with your companions across a vast world, sharing supplies, overcoming obstacles, and helping one another through every trial. Every decision you make together could mean the difference between completing the journey or falling before the end.

EXPLORE

Procedurally generated on every quest, venture through ancient forests, towering mountains and untamed wilderness as you escort a powerful orb to its final destination. Each region presents unique dangers, hidden paths, and discoveries that will test your courage, resourcefulness, and determination.

ENDURE

The journey will push your group to its limits. Hunt, forage and manage your supplies as exhaustion, harsh weather, and relentless enemies threaten to break your resolve. Protect the orb, preserve your strength, and rely on your companions.

FORM YOUR PARTY

No online matchmaking here, form groups of up to 9 adventurers, or brave it alone as a solo traveller.
