HELIX is an open-world multiplayer sandbox platform, specifically designed for roleplay. As a developer, you can create your own games, roleplaying servers, and virtual worlds using our extensive scripting API and creation tools.

Built By Creators, For Creators - We see you. We see your ingenuity, your creativity, as you modify games in beautiful, frustrating ways, fighting the very systems you rely on. HELIX is different. Time to know what it feels like to be empowered alongside a community of creators.

We Succeed When You Succeed - With access to the Add-on Vault (1) and extensive documentation, we strive to help you excel. Not to mention features like one-click-publishing and full IP ownership!

Delightful Tooling - HELIX is built on top of the well-used Unreal 5 game engine, allowing for unparalleled graphical fidelity and customization. We also provide an intuitive and powerful Lua API alongside a host of other useful tools.
