Cornerstone is an open world action adventure, with an emphasis on exploration and combat mixed with physics and player choice. A game inspired by The Legend of Zelda games and Dark souls.  

The world is structured similar to Wind-Waker with a series of islands connected within vast ocean, almost every areas is accessible from the start. The main method of transportation between islands will be by Ship (and don't worry, there will be fast travel).

More information on Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim:

Over the past years the realm of Nygard has grown unstable ever since the Viking warriors went missing. To the east, the Gou-Hai empire expands as emperor Ju-long assembles an army. His wife the beloved empress "Mei-ling" has fallen fatally ill and Ju-long claims the Vikings are to blame.

The western kingdom of Himalu has become the source of many strange rumors of human sacrifice and the use of forbidden magic, the young Sun queen "Zemitara" is said to be at the center of these events.

The Muavi brothers in the south, Mamba and Vasabi, sons of the late great chieftain Jaja Muavi have come upon hard times, the threat of civil war is looming. The mokaga dessert is a dry land and the source of their water supply is running low, without the trade from the Vikings the tribe's future is uncertain.

The remaining Vikings consists of mainly women and children, having very few means with which to defend themselves. Living under the growing threat of invasion from the "Empire" and other menacing factions, their only hope of survival is the ever more unlikely return of the lost viking warriors, unless...

Tyrim lives on the Borjana island with his mother Alma and his younger twin siblings Vida and Birka. His father has been out on an expedition with the rest of the men of the village, leaving the elders, women and their children behind. No one knows where they are since they have been gone for several years. 

Things in the village are starting to fall apart and there is no one who can help. (This is where game starts) The boy is insistent to go find the lost ones but the villagers are keen on keeping the few remaining they have left. And of course Tyrim is far too young for such an adventure; the village is barely holding together.
