+# OTClientV8
+
+OTClientV8 is highly optimized, cross-platform tile based 2d game engine built with c++17, lua, physfs, OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenAL.
+It has been created as alternative client for game called [Tibia](https://tibia.com/), but now it's much more functional and powerful.
+It works well even on 12 years old computers. In April 2021 it reached 290k unique installations, including 80k android installations.
+
+Supported platforms:
+- Windows (min. Windows 7)
+- Android (min. 5.0)
+
+On Windows you may need to install https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe to make it work.
