"Single-Player MMO-Like" Erenshor Lets You Adventure On Your Own Time, Demo Out Now
MMOs like Everquest, Runescape, and World Of Warcraft often require a major time investment to fully appreciate, along with ample coordination between your clanmates in order to tackle the biggest raids. Erenshor--a "single-player MMO-like" from indie studio Burgee Media--is attempting a new and less restrictive approach with the lone player in mind, thanks to a few novel additions to the formula.
The single-player approach of Erenshor means that players can step away from the game at will, with no negative repercussions, even if the party is in the middle of a raid. Furthermore, the player can return right where they left off--including the aforementioned "middle of a raid"--when they return to the game.
To maintain the MMO experience without other players, Erenshor creates randomly generated special teammates called "SimPlayers" that will aid in the adventure. SimPlayers will join the player's party, accompany them on quests and missions, and continue to progress while the player is logged off, which will give the player an extra leg up when they return to the game.
