Survive in futuristic 2046 USA where a ruthless megacorporation owns your debt. Mine cobalt, automate production, craft machines, explore a dying world, and ride your electric bike across vast pixel-art wastelands. Pay what you owe… or disappear.
It’s 2046. Water is scarce. Land is barren. Corporations rule everything. You are bound by a contract you never truly understood - a massive debt owed to a ruthless megacorporation. The only way out?
Extract. Build. Expand. Survive.
Every unit of cobalt you mine brings you closer to freedom… or deeper into the system.
Start with basic tools and carve your way through a harsh, dry landscape rich in valuable minerals.
What begins as manual labor quickly becomes a logistical challenge.
You weren’t meant to do this alone.
Build a growing industrial network in the middle of nowhere:
Design your own efficient production system - or watch it collapse under its own weight.
Turn raw materials into survival.
Every upgrade is a step toward independence - and a bigger target on your back.
The world is vast. And it doesn’t care about you.
Travel across desolate terrain:
Freedom is out there. But reaching it won’t be easy.
You’re not alone in this broken system.
Not everyone believes in freedom anymore.
Or become part of it.
