Short description

Its larger conflict sets humanity against two outside powers after a human war over AI. Shared-world multiplayer is in development and testing.
At a glance
- Genre: Open-world, MMO-style survival
- Platform: PC
- Status: In development
- Public servers: Not currently available
- Release date: Not announced
What the game is about
The current survival loop connects expeditions to life at camp. Gather supplies, manage food and water, prepare equipment, then return to improve the settlement. Residents need beds and daily meals; you can assign jobs such as farming, guarding, cooking, scavenging, medicine and engineering. Build walls and defenses, and decide when to stay and protect the camp.
The world’s story is still in development. Humanity had already fought over artificial intelligence when two outside powers arrived. Neither helped humanity win that earlier war. The lighthouse reflected humanity’s hope that the world could be fixed; its light went out when people lost hope. It remains a central point of contention in a conflict whose outcome is unresolved.
Development status
The game and its online features remain in development. Shared-world hosting and multiplayer systems are being integrated and tested.
