Once, humanity fought ceaselessly over trivial matters, and now they face dire consequences: alien races from distant stars have observed the conflicts raging on this planet. Today, three powerful extraterrestrial civilizations continue their endless war for their respective purposes, turning the planet into a wasteland where humanity struggles to survive amidst their power struggles. Your village has been destroyed by the war. To survive in this chaotic world, you must quickly familiarize yourself with the technologies and skills upon which humanity relies, unite reliable companions, and build and defend your own camp. As you establish your foothold, chaos and mysteries will assail you, and the fate of you and your people will depend on your choices.


Gather resources from the surroundings, fill your belly, and then build your own base. You can cultivate various crops to ensure a food supply for yourself and your companions. Utilize the limited resources on the wasteland to build comfortable houses.


Reputation reflects your influence in this world, which you can gradually accumulate through various actions. Reputation is crucial; for instance, when you need to recruit companions, they will judge whether you are a competent leader based on your reputation level. It's worth noting that reputation is a double-edged sword: the higher your reputation, the more attention you will attract from powerful factions, which could potentially bring you into crisis.



Players can utilize a wide array of weapons and equipment for combat, including melee and ranged weapons. Master various weapons to enhance your proficiency and prepare to face even stronger enemies on the battlefield.


The control of this planet is no longer in human hands, and the alien races do not regard humanity highly. Perhaps you can take full advantage of this opportunity to gradually establish your own power from scratch. You can build your own armed forces and become a dominant force. You can also seek the protection of powerful factions, or use strategy and diplomacy to turn enemies into allies. In times of chaos, no one can criticize your choices: for survival, all means are fair!
