# Game Overview Illuvium casts players as a survivor from an interstellar space fleet who responds to a distress signal only to find themselves stranded on a planet in ruins. The planet's surface is fraught with perilous weather conditions, and a vast crystal ocean covers many of its landmasses, leaving only a small fraction of the planet visible and accessible. Despite the devastation, players encounter majestic beasts called Illuvials, possessing near-godlike powers. As players traverse the world and capture these creatures using crystal Shards, they unlock Obelisks that serve as gateways to new regions. Along the way, players uncover secrets about Illuvium and rebuild their ship, the Leviathan. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
