About the Game
From Moon Studios, the award-winning developers of Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps comes No Rest for the Wicked, a visceral, precision Action RPG set in a stunning, hand-crafted world. Discover enchanting lands and frightening dungeons as you explore a world filled with enemies and bosses who will challenge you to be strategic and hone your fighting skills. With multiple difficulty options, you can shape the journey to match your playstyle, whether you're here for the story or the the immersive combat. Collect resources, cook meals, upgrade your gear, and build your custom home, all while a living, teeming world evolves around you.
The year is 841 TE. King Harol is dead. Even worse, the Pestilence, an unholy plague not seen for a thousand years, has returned. It sweeps across the land, corrupting everything it touches. Madrigal Seline, a ruthlessly ambitious figure in the church, sees the Pestilence as a chance to prove herself in the eyes of her god. These forces converge on the backwater Isola Sacra, where rebel groups and the provincial government fight for control amid the isle’s crumbling ruins.
You are a Cerim – a member of a group of mystical holy warriors imbued with remarkable powers and sworn to defeat the Pestilence at any cost. But the task will prove increasingly challenging as you become entangled in the people’s plight and the vast political struggle of this downtrodden land. Chaos will pull you in every direction as you seek to cleanse the land of the plague and shape the kingdom’s fate.


Create your own safe haven in the town of Sacrament – purchase property and decorate it to make it your own. Harvest timber, ore, and other resources to build up your equipment and help restore the city to its former glory. Fish on the shores and collect food to create meals that replenish your health during combat and boost your stats. And acquaint yourself with the diverse array of vendors and townsfolk who can sell you supplies and help shape your journey.




Share your world and progress with up to three friends in the campaign’s online co-op mode. Every quest, boss, and square foot of Isola Sacra is theirs to share with you…or they can simply venture off and do as they please.

Official update history
🛠️ Early Access Patch Notes - Together Hotfix 9
Hey folks,
There were a few people affected by save rollbacks from prior changes. We’re including fixes that will address the two cases that were found to restore players’ saves that got rolled back.
The first case is for players that had varying levels of rollbacks to realms and characters (mostly for those who had missing realms that got fixed with the server maintenance). If you had this issue, you should now have your characters and realms back to where they were originally, however you will also have duplicate characters and realms from the restore.
If you had this issue please review the duplicate realms and characters and delete the ones you don’t want to keep
The second case is for players who had characters that rolled back to level 1. The data that caused this issue to occur has been fixed, but it does require a few manual steps to restore your character:
Download our Moon Restore Tool here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K8GtIaSjKb_gZPB5CZpdRNs3BNoXt_24/view?usp=drive_link
Launch the game.
Go to %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Moon Studios\\NoRestForTheWicked\\DataStore.
Before doing anything else, copy the DataStore folder to another location as a backup in case you need to revert changes.
Extract MoonRestoreTool.zip in any folder.
Double click MoonRestoreTool.exe.
You will see a list of all your current characters and also the ones you played in the previous build, along with their level. Characters that are detected as being rolled back will be shown with a red tag \[ROLLED BACK].
Type 1 to toggle between displaying all characters or just the ones that have been rolled back.
Type 2 to restore all characters that got rolled back to their original state (whatever was there prior to the rollback). Alternatively, type 3 to restore just a single character. The list will update accordingly after any changes are made.
Optionally, type 3 to undo one of the previously restored characters (the ones shown with a green tag \), if something goes wrong.
DO NOT try to load into any realms after this step.
Relaunch the game and confirm the characters are restored, and you are free to start playing.
🛠️ Early Access Patch Notes - Together Hotfix 8
Hey folks,
This update brings performance improvements, combat tuning, and a round of fixes shaped by player feedback. Before we head down the final stretch toward 1.0 launch, we wanted to get this into your hands.
Regarding the issue that hit certain users causing their realms to become hidden – we had already deployed a partial fix to prevent this issue from happening again but now, with the maintenance period before this hotfix, we’ve also fixed all accounts that had hidden realms as well (also yes the servers are back up!).

🛠️ Early Access Patch Notes - Together Hotfix 3
Hey folks,
As promised, we’ve done a big pass over Keyboard and Mouse Layouts and Rebinding! Layouts have been adjusted to be more comfortable for a variety of playstyles and we’ve fixed a list of issues that were making KBM harder to play on.
We do have plans to do more in the future such as freely binding more than one binding to the same key.
We’d love to hear your feedback on how KBM feels now and if it feels better to play!
🛠️ Vendors:
Added Sell menu to Seneschal in Crucible
🛠️ Input:
Updated keyboard and mouse layouts and renamed them. Also added better descriptions.
Combined Movement
The default scheme
Combines WASD for general movement and Mouse for finer movement on thin platforms
Recommended for most builds and builds with shields
Combined + Rune Selection
Allows you to preselect the rune you want to cast and more easily cast it with M2
Combines WASD for general movement and Mouse for finer movement on thin platforms
Recommended for builds with wands and staves
Mouse Movement
Move using only the Mouse
Recommended for builds with bows
Changed default KBM keybinds on Combined layouts
Run = SHIFT
Parry = MMB
Utility runes = ALT

Can now switch targets again by pressing the binding and pointing the cursor near the enemy you want to target
Improved scroll wheel changes enemies
Fixed certain actions having an extra binding hardcoded such as Parry

Additionally we’re happy to add the new Australia region to the servers list for folks in Oceania!
We hope you are having a blast stealing your friends' items playing with your friends in co-op!
Hey folks,
We’ve pushed some additional fixes to the Experimental branch for the Co-op beta! This includes fixes to things like Whisper contributions not working, adjusting multiplayer balance and making parry is rebindable!
There are remaining issues that cause desyncs (attempting to reconnect screens) that we are looking into already and are working on so that they are fixed for Co-op launch.
That said, we do want to thank everyone for participating in the Experimental branch so far and for all the feedback you have given us to improve the launch! ❤️
One last thing – In the holiday spirit, we’ve snuck a little secret somewhere on Isola Sacra! First person to post a screenshot (needs to be a capture of your screen, not cropped) of it gets a NRFTW Steam Key for a friend to play Co-op with (or use themselves)! 😉
Hey folks,
Just as a heads up! We'll be doing some maintenance that will restart the servers around 4 AM CET / 3 AM GMT / 10 PM EST / 7 PM PST / 9 PM CST ! The servers will be back up within about 5-10 mins after this happens though.
At the same time we'll be pushing an patch to experimental with some fixes for bigger issues and attempted fixes for a save issue!
