Prologue: Go Wayback! is the first of three games leading to Project Artemis, a vision for massive multiplayer sandbox worlds. This game introduces machine-learning-powered procedural generation, creating unique 64km² landscapes in Unreal Engine 5 for endless exploration and survival challenges.
Gameplay
In Prologue: Go Wayback!, every playthrough offers a fresh, dynamically generated world. Navigate rugged terrain, survive harsh weather, and make critical decisions to reach the distant Weather Tower. Manage hunger, thirst, and body temperature while adapting to unpredictable storms, blizzards, and environmental hazards. With no hand-holding, players must rely on maps, compasses, and instincts to forge their own path.
