You awaken as a forgotten AI on a strange terraformed world. With your purpose lost to time, your only certainty is the need to build. Every factory, every resource harvested, every automated production chain, and every choice made profoundly transforms your capabilities, the environment, and your very identity.
Deeply Transformative Choices
Your decisions don't just alter the story; they fundamentally change gameplay. Clear forests to gain technology that converts biomass into concrete. Conversely, preserving ecosystems may reveal new advanced symbiotic technologies. Your interests and technological developments are guided directly by your actions, shaping both the narrative and available tools.
Narrative-Driven Automation
Dive into a narrative-rich factory-building experience, where automation is the core gameplay. Your Ego continuously reacts, thinks aloud, and evolves based on your actions—reflecting your choices, ethics, and proficiency. This dynamic voice adapts from curiosity and uncertainty to confidence or disdain, mirroring your evolving playstyle.
Relaxed Complexity
