Take the long way.
They’ll put it to use.
A walk to the shop. The scenic route home. Your everyday steps become stamina for the company, even while they are already delving.
Where the journey begins
1 step2 seconds
of game staminaRare equipment and selected hero traits can improve your step yield, up to a final cap of 15 seconds per step.
Make room for the road
Grow your bank from 24 to 168 reference hours with gold, plus two free capacity hours per Pilgrim rank. Your party’s drain determines actual combat time. Full-bank overflow becomes gold.
With permission, Health Connect can supply recorded steps from while the game was closed. Updates may arrive in batches. The phone-sensor fallback counts only while ParseBound is open. Support depends on your device and setup.
A little clarity before you set out
Your company.
Your choice.
Start with a ready-made company and starter stamina. You can play without signing in or connecting steps first.
A blessing, if you want it.
Choose a rewarded video for four hours of double step stamina, within the same 15-second cap. No banners or forced ads. Video length and availability vary, and a video may not always be ready.
Keep the reins.
Play as a guest, export a backup, or sign in for cloud backup and confirmed restore. Automatic backup is on by default for verified signed-in accounts after a notice. You can turn it off in Account & backup or Settings; turning it off does not delete an existing backup. Changed progress is checked about every 10 minutes while playing, with a best-effort attempt when you leave, on return or after a guardian clear. Closing the notice without choosing keeps backup on for a new sign-in. Signing into another account backs up this same local adventure to that account. Signing in never replaces your adventure, and cloud conflicts need review.

Can I play ParseBound now?
ParseBound is in closed testing on Google Play, and its public release is being prepared. Testers who have already joined can install and update it through Google Play.
Will it work with my phone’s steps?
Android tracking uses read-only Health Connect step access or a supported phone step-counter sensor. Availability depends on Android version, hardware, permissions and recording setup. Health Connect may provide recorded steps when you return; the sensor fallback counts only while the game is open. Universal phone support is not promised.
Can stamina refill while my heroes fight?
Yes. Newly credited steps can replenish stamina while your company is delving. Provider updates may arrive in batches, so the number may not change with every individual step.
Do I have to keep the game open?
Your company can make progress while you are away using its saved stamina. With Health Connect, available recorded steps can be checked when you return. The phone-sensor fallback counts only while ParseBound is open.
Why would I change my party?
Stronger heroes and equipment can use more stamina. Fatigue makes a deployed company more expensive over time, so resting heroes and rotating reserves matters. Supports can reduce drain, strengthen allies or help resting heroes recover without dealing damage themselves.
Are ads or an account required?
No. The game is playable as a guest. Rewarded videos are optional and grant a temporary walking blessing; no purchase or ad is required for ordinary gameplay. An optional account gives you cloud backup and confirmed restore. Automatic backup is on by default for verified signed-in accounts after a notice, and you can turn it off in Settings. Manage or delete an account from the game or the account page.
What about iPhone?
Android comes first. There is no iPhone release available, and no iOS release date has been announced.
The adventure is taking shape
A new road.
Still being explored.
ParseBound is in closed testing on Google Play.
Its public release is being prepared.
Rewarded videos stay optional and are never required to play.
Until the public release, only Google accounts that have joined the test can install.
