## Description
A post-apocalyptic sandbox MMORPG set in the American Southwest, 77 years after the 1988 nuclear war.
Designed for players whose lives don't pause for game timers: queue actions for your character to gather, craft, fight, and explore even when you're offline. Check in when life allows.
Choose your path as trader, warrior, or explorer. Skill-based progression means you define your playstyle. No pay-to-win. No artificial scarcity. Just a wasteland that keeps moving.
DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFE
Queue actions for gathering, crafting, traveling, and fighting. Your character works offline. Deep MMORPG gameplay without the time commitment.
STRATEGIC TURN-BASED COMBAT
Your character auto-battles intelligently, but you can intervene for optimal results. Every weapon matters. Face mutated creatures and hostile survivors.
PLAYER-DRIVEN ECONOMY
Craft and trade with other players. Master rare blueprints and production chains. Specialize and cooperate. Your skills create your value.
SKILL-BASED PROGRESSION
No classes. No predetermined builds. Learn any skill through use. Become a crafter, fighter, trader, or all three.
NO DARK PATTERNS. NO PAY-TO-WIN.
Subscription unlocks full skill progression - that's it. No energy systems. No premium currencies. No manipulative timers. Just honest game design from a small indie team.
