Every run offers new challenges, forcing you to balance expansion, efficiency, and survival.

THE GAME LOOP

"Gather - Automate - Expand - Die"

DETAILED GAMELOOP

1. THE REFUGE

You begin each run from mankinds last refuge on a dying planet, the old research facility called "Idun 8" that survives through the experimental "Endless Engine"

2. THE CARRIER

From here you control biomechanical, monsterlike carriers that head out into the environmental hazard to gather rare materials to keep the Engine running

3. AUTOMATION

Ontop of the carrier you build, automate and protect a factory to gather minerals under deadly conditions

4. RISK

The choice is yours:

Will you exit your run early and keep the Endless Engine running?

Or will you risk the whole run to go even deeper into the lava flooded canyons and search for other research stations that survived the apocalypse?
