How do I play the game?

Greyvar is currently in heavy development, there isn’t really much to “play” right now. Subscribe to updates above so you can play early versions.

Technically, as game is open source, and you can download the code and compile it yourself. However, instructions to do this aren’t provided because it’s not a good way to try the game.
