Grounded

Grounded: Small World, Big Adventure

Welcome to the backyard, where you’ve been mysteriously shrunk down to the size of an ant! The familiar world is now a vast, beautiful, and perilous landscape. You must explore, build, and survive alongside towering insects, utilizing everyday objects in entirely new ways.

From the developers at Obsidian Entertainment, Grounded throws you into a unique survival adventure where the micro-world presents macro challenges. Can you thrive in this hostile environment and find a way back home?

Explore a Lush, Living Backyard

Discover a persistent open world teeming with life (and danger!). Navigate dense grassy jungles, murky puddles, towering soda cans, and complex ant hills. The backyard is full of secrets, resources, and creatures both wondrous and terrifying. Uncover the story behind your shrinking and the mysteries hidden within this familiar yet alien landscape.

Survive Against Giant Threats

The backyard’s insect inhabitants see you as just another morsel on the food chain.

• Fight or Flee: Battle hostile creatures like spiders, ladybugs, ants, and bombardier beetles using crafted weapons and armor. Learn their behaviors and attack patterns to survive.
• Manage Your Needs: Scavenge for dew drops for water, hunt smaller insects for food, and manage your stamina and health in this challenging environment.

Build Your Base, Craft Your Gear

Gather resources from the environment – blades of grass, pebbles, acorn shells, spider silk – and use them to craft essential tools, weapons, armor, and structures.

• Creative Base Building: Construct epic bases from scavenged materials to protect yourself from the elements and the creatures that roam the night. Build walls, floors, observation towers, ziplines, and more.
• Craft for Survival: Fashion everything from simple pebblet axes and dew collectors to powerful insect-part armor and explosive weaponry. Research new crafting recipes to unlock advanced gear.

Play Solo or with Friends

You don’t have to face the backyard alone! Team up with up to three friends in online co-op. Explore, build, and survive together, sharing resources and watching each other’s backs against the giant threats lurking in the grass.
