NoctharrowIn developmentThe game
Noctharrow is about preparing a character, understanding what happens in combat, and refining the next attempt.
Movement, targeting, skill use, evasion and loot collection run automatically. Skill icons explain effects and cooldowns; they are not buttons for manually casting attacks. You shape the outcome through your build and the activity you choose.
Choose your weapon, equipment, talents and skill priorities.
Select an expedition suited to the build you have prepared.
Watch movement, targeting and skills play out automatically.
Evaluate the result, invest resources and prepare the next attempt.
Six weapon styles. No permanent class choice.
Develop the proficiency and talents of the weapon style you choose. A bow, a staff or a pair of daggers opens a different path through your next expedition. Prepare changes before a run; this is not an instant weapon-switching combat system.
Plan the build. Watch it unfold.
Talents, equipment and skill priorities shape automatic battles. Decide how your character approaches the next encounter, observe the result, then refine your preparation. Movement, targeting and skill execution happen automatically.
Build on what you learn between expeditions.
Develop your equipment, discover Relics and choose Jewels for character-owned sockets. Different progression systems let you revisit the same challenge with a new plan. Each activity has its own rules for rewards and losses.

Connected, with clear boundaries
Solo battlefields remain individual. Chat, presence, public build inspection and leaderboards connect players outside those battles. World Boss health is shared globally, while each player sees their own character and boss.
An internet connection is required. Disconnected time does not generate progress.
