Thornwake — idle hunting RPG in a kingdom swallowed by thorns

See it in actionHunt, gear up, grow

Hunt automatically, step in for the fights that matter

What you'll doA whole kingdom to take back

Thornwake hunts while you're busy, so you can play in short bursts. The real game is in the choices: your class and spec, gear and gem sockets, beasts and mounts, and whether to push the next dungeon or farm the last one on Hard.

33 zones · 3 realms

Hunt the Briar

Auto-hunt through 33 zones across three realms, from the Briar Fringe to the Heart of the Briar, then into the Blighted and Thornbound realms past level 100.

7 dungeons

Dungeons, then Hard mode

Seven painted dungeons with eight steps and a boss each. Clear one and Hard mode opens a second, much tougher run with double coins and better gear.

Beasts & mounts

Raise companions

Hatch beasts, summon mounts, then level, star up, reroll traits and gear them. Your deployed beast fights beside you in every hunt.

With everyone

Server bosses

A daily boss and a server-wide raid boss that the whole server fights together. They stay open after they fall, and everyone is paid by the damage they dealt, with a top-10 bonus.

Clans and PvP

Found or join a clan, fight clan wars and the clan boss, and climb ten Arena ranks for season rewards.

Patch notesWhat's new

Thornwake is in open beta and updates often, sometimes the same day a bug is reported in the Discord.

Version 0.10.29 LATEST

New: the Event Center. All events now live in one place: a strip of event tabs, a calendar of what is on, what is next and when each leaves, and every event built in the same style.
New events (29): Thornmother's Court, Thorn King's Trial, Forgewar, Gemblood Vigil, Thornlore Trial, Brood Ascension, Night Harvest, Rise of the Thorned, Thornwar Muster, Hunt of the Blackthorn, Ascendant Brood, Dawn Vigil, Beastbinder's Rite, Return to the Thorns, Silver Bone Bazaar, Briarheart Hunt, Hearthless Kin, Hall of the Thorned, Gilded Thorn Cache, Briar Bazaar, Requiem Board, Dawnthorn Pilgrimage, Hunter's Rally, Ember of the Briar, Thornvault, Thornveil Cache, Barrow Delve, Seer's Thornboard, Hangman's Draw, Lantern Pilgrimage and the Briarpath dice board.
New clan events (6): Clan Muster with cross-server leagues, Bounty of the Hollow Blades, Night of the Hollow Host, Clan Feud of Thorns, Three Thorns Gauntlet and Thornmother's Brood.
Event packs from $4.99 to $99.99 in every event, plus event passes, the Thornvault nightly caches and the Lantern Pack.
Festival: every picture is in, the Gourd King falls when beaten, a Disguise tab with the Harvest Baron pack.
Avatar frames are square and each comes with its own chat bubble in the set's colour; 25 holiday and cosmetic sets added.
Hero gear: Mythic and better gear shows a light running round its tile instead of dotted circles; socketed gems show as gem pictures.
Sprites are drawn with high-quality smoothing.
New: the Festival. Every season opens with a 10-day festival: tap down a giant boss for treasure, make wishes in the Wish House, climb seven daily Trials and light the Festival Board for a grand prize and title.
New art everywhere: every sigil and relic type, the named relics, event icons, achievement badges, raid covers, skin avatars for Thornseer and Gravecaller, and their own backdrops for the Blighted and Thornbound realms.
New: Clan Clash. Clan against clan: every clan fights its own Briar Colossus, each level 30% tougher than the last. Clans are ranked by total damage, each has a rival clan of similar strength, and every member who fights is paid by the clan's placement. The #1 clan earns the title Clash Champion and its frame.
Event bosses can no longer be finished by one hunter: their health is set so even the strongest player can deal only about a third, and every kill makes the next one 35% tougher. New Event Boss Keys (in Arena & Boss packs) give up to 10 extra strikes a day.
World Boss: buy up to 10 extra attacks a day, each one a little dearer.
Tower of Trials: Auto climb fights floor after floor until you lose.
Lucky Wheel redesigned: the painted wheel with a picture on every prize, lights, a prize table with the odds and a win reveal.
VIP redesigned: page through every tier, see exactly what each one adds, claim your daily bundle and see each tier's Special Pack.
Fixed: Hard mode now goes in order. A dungeon's Hard run opens only after you clear the previous dungeon's Hard run, so you can no longer skip ahead.
Fixed: text squeezed into a column of single letters on some buttons and labels. Fixed: screenshots on the website were cropped.
New event calendar: Events now shows the next 14 days. Tap a day to see what starts and ends, in your own time zone.
Events announce themselves in chat and on Discord the moment they begin.
Every upgrade button now shows the material it uses with a small icon and how many you have of what it needs, in red when you are short: Amplify, Temper, gem Merge, beast and mount Feed, Star up, Trait reroll, gear Enhance and more.
Tap any gear on another hunter's profile to see its full stats, enchant and every socketed gem with its level.
Take out all gems: one tap on an item, or on all your gear from the Gems tab, puts every socketed gem back in your bag.
Beast and mount gear has its own painted pictures: collars, claws, charms, saddles, barding and horseshoes.
Fixed: Legendary and Mythic beasts showed each other's colors in the beast window.

Version 0.10.28

Daily and raid bosses no longer close when they fall: everyone can keep striking until the event ends, and the killing blow is shown to all.
Boss rewards now grow with your own total damage, with a bonus for the top 10 and for the killing blow.
Named relics are rarer and drop at the best rarity your level allows, so gear climbs the ladder at the right pace.
Beast and mount gear is easier to read: one piece per row, a picture for each piece and clear Enhance buttons.
New website: thornwake.app/welcome shows the game, the classes and every patch note.

Version 0.10.27

Shop: tap any reward picture to see what it is and what it is for.
Shop packs get gold thorn-vine trim to match the rest of the game.

Version 0.10.26

Easier on the eyes: cards and panels are lighter, labels and small text are bigger and brighter, and gold now marks what you can press.
Warmer, sunlit halls behind the Hunter, Beasts, Clan, Arena, Market, War and Fortress screens, plus clean new icons and clearer Events, Clan activity, Tracker and History badges.
Beasts and mounts glow softly in their own color, Mythic gear is rose pink, and Battle cards that are ready pulse gold instead of a red dot.
Daily and raid bosses are much tougher: their health now grows with how hard the server hits.
Energy is rarer: energy packs and offers now give less (3,000 energy in the $99.99 pack).
Fixed: hunters in the Blighted and Thornbound realms can pick zones and stages again.
Dungeons: a new picker with painted covers for every dungeon, and going back to farm an older dungeon no longer loses your place in the newest one.
Hard mode is now a real second run: once a dungeon is cleared, Hard gives it 8 new, much tougher steps with double coins and better gear.
New Arena rank badges, and dusk versions of the Clan and War halls.
Fixed: named relics and gear from dungeons and chests now count in the Codex. Thornbound gear has its own pale shimmering color so it no longer looks like Elder.

Version 0.10.24

Fixed: active players were missing from the leaderboards after game updates. Everyone hidden this way is back.

Version 0.10.23

New layout: five tabs (Shop, Hero, Hunt, Battle, Clan), one section bar per screen, and the chat bar stays put above the tabs.

The Thornwake, Act I: a personal story campaign. Daily chests are now earned by playing, not by watching ads. The Shop has a cleaner look.
Hatch 1, 10 or (Premium) every egg at once. You can now delete a hunter from the hunter list.
Energy is rarer and worth more. Fixed: Keen Eye could roll gear above your level's rarity.

Version 0.10.22

Combat hits harder: hit freeze, screen shake, slash arcs, impact sparks and big readable damage numbers.
Defeated enemies burst into embers; fireflies, wisps and embers drift through each realm.
Fixed: rerolling a contract with diamonds.

Skills reworked: every hunt costs 1 energy and Hunting gives a chance of free bonus monsters. Eight new skills, including a new Combat tab (Bloodlust, Ironhide, Executioner). Resetting refunds exactly what you paid.
Arena: much bigger session rewards, and new daily rewards at 00:00 UTC for everyone who fought that day.
Stay here: Auto can keep farming one stage (for example to finish a zone in the Codex). Codex Hunt here turns it on.
Each class now sees its own weapon and offhand: bows and quivers for Wardens, staffs and focuses for Thornseers, scythes and skulls for Gravecallers. Named relics are class-locked, with three new offhand relics.
New look for the Hunt screen, square portraits with equipped frames, and themed World, Clan and private chat with saved private conversations.
Gems are now called Diamonds (socket gems for your gear keep their name).
Rally hours: during set hours every day, strikes on the server boss deal +50% damage — every timezone gets a window.
Fixed: resetting skills now gives back every gem you spent on them (minus the 200 fee). Anyone who lost diamonds to a reset gets them back by mail from the GM.

Clans design their own banner; clan settings rebuilt (notice, recruitment, language, Discord, join rules, officer permissions, roster, rename, disband).
Avatars, frames and skins share one window.
Shop is now a main tab — offers, gem packs, skins, Premium, VIP and the Diamond Market in one place, no more digging through menus.
