After being mysteriously shrunk to the size of an ant and grounded, the player character (Max, Willow, Pete, or Hoops) must survive in the micro-world of a suburban backyard either alone or with up to three additional players. In this dangerous landscape, players must progress through story-based quests and explore the backyard’s farthest reaches, its aggressive creatures, and its unique biomes. To stay alive, players must gather resources, craft tools, and build bases while searching for food and water. They must also craft armor to defend against a host of deadly creatures. While exploring, players can discover special locations that will yield new tool and base building recipes, providing endless playthrough possibilities.
