What's inside

Everything Fogwalk does.

The mist

The world is cut into cells 20–40 m across. Everything within 40 m of your path is revealed for good, as soft clearings in a cloudy mist over a sepia OpenStreetMap atlas.

Treasure chests

Common, rare, epic and legendary chests are hidden all over the map and refill every Monday, even on streets you know. Nearby ones glimmer through the mist. Walk within 30 m to open one.

Shrine of the day

Each day a shrine awakens 0.6–1.7 km away, where the mist is thickest. An arrow points the way, and reaching it is the best reward of the day.

36 relics

Six sets, from the Wayfarer's Pack to the Gifts of the Heavens: a brass compass, a dragon's scale, a void pearl. A full set earns a title and gold.

160 deeds

25 ladders of deeds: walk 1 km, 100 km, 1,000 km, 5,000 km; chart a clearing, then a kingdom; open a chest, then a thousand; keep a streak for a year.

Lands

The realm is divided into named lands about a kilometre across, like Whispering Hollow or Mossy Wharf. Chart 5, 15, 25 and 40 % of a land for rewards.

Quests and streaks

Three new quests every dawn and a great quest every week. Reveal 25 cells, walk 1 km or reach the shrine to keep the streak alive; a ward guards a missed day.

Gold and the merchant

Gold buys mists for the map, from Old Parchment to Elven Lights, a torch that burns a wider path, a seeing stone that shows every chest, wards and a scroll that moves the shrine.

Journeys with the screen off

Tap Set out and Fogwalk keeps charting in a quiet notification, with a call when a chest is close. Anything faster than a bike doesn't count.

Chronicle and levels

Charted area and your share of the known world, lands, days on the road, recent journeys, and ranks from Wanderer to Legend of the Realm.

Your path stays with you

No account, no servers, no analytics, no ads. Explored cells and progress live on the phone; only map tiles come from the network. A JSON backup keeps your atlas safe.

Yours, in two languages

A storybook look in light and dark, and English and Russian written natively, down to land names that agree in gender.

Good to know

Questions people ask.

Is there a premium version?

No. Every chest, relic, mist and deed is there for everyone, with no ads, no trial and no subscription. Gold is earned only by walking.

Does it track me?

No. There are no accounts, servers or analytics. Your path is stored only as explored cells in a local database on the phone. The only network traffic is map tiles from OpenStreetMap.

Does riding a bus count?

No. Anything faster than about 30 km/h is treated as a vehicle and reveals nothing, so the map stays a record of where you actually walked or cycled.

How much battery does it use?

GPS runs only while the map is open or during a journey you started. Stop the journey when you get home, and the app goes quiet.
