We're back from summer hiatus (and sunny weather) to take another dive into Cassette Beasts! In today's blog post, we wanted to take a look at the world of the game.

New Wirral

The game is set on the island of New Wirral, a mysterious land inhabited by, as you might have guessed, beasts. The player begins the game having washed ashore on the beaches of New Wirral, and you soon learn of the predicament you are in. New Wirral holds many environments, dangers and secrets. On your quest to find your way back home, you'll explore the island at your own pace.

It must be said that there is nothing unique about your arrival - the other residents of the island also found their way there in the same way.

When the first people to find themselves on New Wirral arrived, they eventually founded a town - a town that stands to this very day! Which is...

Harbourtown

Harbourtown is the home for all residents of the island, and is a place you'll be returning to often. Built as a community that accepts everyone, Harbourtown is a place you can:

Heal up without having to use wood for a campfire
Swap out your adventuring partner for another
Catch up on the latest town gossip
Exchange resources for new moves to use in battle
And more!

Rumours

In regards to gossip, the townsfolk will often have rumours to impart to you. These can tip you off about new monster locations, quests and other information that will help you explore the island!

Town Hall

The Town Hall is the HQ of the rangers, who help keep the island safe. Here you can unlock certain unique upgrades for your cassette player that help you in battle.

The residents of Harbourtown may be strangers at first, but the more you get to know them, the more you'll learn about this strange world you've found yourself in!

That's all for this blog! If you have any further questions, why not join our growing Discord community? There you can get the latest info on Cassette Beasts, as well as participate in exclusive events and gameplay streams! We have lots of exciting news coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
