PathRaid is a gps mmorpg where the world around you is the map

every step earns xp, and enemies, loot, rifts and world bosses spawn around wherever you are. fights are turn based, you can build a base on the real map, and the world is split into 500×500 m plots you can rent with in-game gold. you start as a guest, no account or download. if you're at home on a rainy day or just playing from desktop, you can still make progress because your hero can simulate walking to things virtually with daily limits, so real-life walking stays the main way to play.

the gps screen now spells out what other players can see. nobody sees you unless you turn on "Meet nearby players" thats now more clear for new players, thx for the nudge on that one.

the android app counts steps even with the phone screen off (browsers can't technically do that)

thanks for spelling out that bases are public on the GPS screen. can virtual walking start before granting GPS access?
