Is The Severians: Saga free?

Yes. The game is free to play. Optional purchases support development and never sell power.

Does the game have ads?

Only if you want them. A short video can double the daily gift or the away earnings, and only when you tap “×2 (ad)” yourself. No banners, no ads mid-game. With the Brewer’s Charter the reward comes without a video.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The brewery keeps working while you're away; the internet is only needed for purchases and for optional anonymous statistics if you agree to it.

Which devices are supported?

Available now for Android phones and tablets on Google Play. The iPhone and iPad version is in the works; a link will appear after release.

Which languages are available?

Ukrainian, English and German.

Is the history real?

The setting is the real Novhorod-Siverskyi principality of Prince Ihor. History pages of the in-game Chronicle quote medieval sources; tales of the court are marked separately.

What is honey beer?

A drink brewed from honey wort with herbs and hops — close to what English speakers call mead. In the game it is brewed, aged in the cellar and sold to towns.

Who is the game for?

Teens and adults who like calm idle games, strategy and history. It is not meant for young children: the game is about brewing, and battles are cartoonish, without blood.
