Windows security notice

LoA.exe is not digitally signed. Windows may warn that the publisher is unknown. A digital signature lets Windows verify who signed a program; the SHA-256 check below verifies the downloaded bytes but does not identify a publisher or prove that a program is safe. Do not bypass a warning unless you understand and accept that distinction.

Check the download

How to run it

1. Open the downloaded ZIP file and extract its contents to a folder you control, such as C:\Games\LoA.

3. Press /, type a message to the in-game guide, and press Enter.

What the download contains

• LoA.exe — the 64-bit Windows game program.
• README.md — a short explanation of this early version.
• LICENSE.md — the End-User License Agreement, or EULA, which explains the terms for using this build.

Privacy and control

This test build is designed to run on your own computer. Its current core features do not require a remote language model. The online multiplayer, online saved-game, and cross-player features listed above are unfinished.

The download does not include digital rights management (DRM), rootkit software, a kernel driver, or anti-cheat monitoring software. DRM is software that restricts copying or use. A kernel driver runs with deep access to the operating system.

Running the program creates local diagnostic files in a logs folder. It may also create screenshots, cached files, or experimental state on your computer. The developer interface is intended to listen only on 127.0.0.1:3001, which means this computer only. Do not expose that port to another device or the internet. Review the included README.md and CONTROLS.md before using developer features.
