Anachronia is a sandbox game set in an alternate history, where you can influence a small living world and observe its transformations over time. Select a region and introduce plants, objects, materials, animals, or knowledge. After that, let the simulation proceed on its own.
Inhabitants will live their lives, move between regions, use and lose resources, acquire new skills, and adapt to changes. The game doesn't follow a predetermined storyline; instead, the outcomes depend on the current state of the world and the rules of the simulation.
You can track population dynamics, monitor the impact of your actions, read event logs, and use the «Why?» feature to understand the causes behind significant events. Experiment with different interventions and timelines — the same object can have various effects under different circumstances.
How to play
1. Choose a location on the map.
2. Click "Intervene" and pick an item, living being, substance, or information.
3. Define the quantity and apply the changes.
4. Press "Observe" to track progress or use "Fast" for quicker passage of time.
5. "Until Event" will skip to the next major occurrence and then halt the simulation.
6. Check "Events" to see updates and use "Why?" to understand the reasons behind key happenings.
7. Access "World" to view population distribution and groups, and "Interventions" to monitor the fate of your introduced elements.
Feel free to experiment: the outcomes of the same action can vary depending on conditions and timing.
