Every step,
a story.

Let your footsteps carry you into a world of ancient mysteries, winding paths, and heroes in the making.
Walk in your world. Adventure in ours.
01 / A different kind of journey
A little further outside.
A little deeper into fantasy.
In Stepping Fantasy, the steps you take in real life are meant to become the distance your adventurer travels. Choose a journey, head out for a walk, and return to discover what lies along the way.
Beyond each milestone, there’s more than distance: a resource to gather, a story to uncover, or a battle that calls for a clever plan.
Phone step sync is still in development. The current build can also advance a journey with timed Energy. The travel guide explains both.

Before you set out
A few things
to know.
What kind of game is Stepping Fantasy?
A fantasy role-playing game built around journeys powered by steps, with a timed Energy alternative. You explore, gather, craft, and resolve turn-based tactical battles. Real-world walking is the intended source of steps; phone step sync is still in development. The guide covers how the current build plays.
How does walking connect to the adventure?
You choose an objective, then steps are meant to carry your adventurer along that journey. Milestones bring discoveries, resources, story events, and encounters. Walking and battles are separate: you do not fight in real time while you walk. In the current build, step input is simulated. The travel guide covers steps, the reserve, and Energy.
Do I walk during battles?
Walking brings you to encounters. Battles themselves are turn-based and resolved in the game through your choices, positioning, equipment, and abilities.
Can I play it yet?
Stepping Fantasy is in development. This page introduces the game’s vision and artwork; a release date and download links have not been announced here.
