Description
After the Age of Delusion and a series of fatal mistakes, the remainder of humanity managed to create a society of high moral standards that solved major global problems and advanced far into space.
What will the Earth look like in such a future? Will it be populated with flying cars and skyscrapers on every inch of its surface, with AI-controlled societies and vertial matrices to distract people from the harshness of the world? Not in this reality! Here, people live modest lifestyles surrounded by the bare minimum of technology. The majority of small communities practice self-sufficiency, and governments are chosen by pure chance and play only administrative roles. You will grow up in this new world to make it better or worse (you decide), discover new horizons, explore the origins of life itself; and all to answer one main question – Is humankind all alone in the eternity of space?
- Play out your life in the post-apocalyptic future utopian society, where there is no obvious Good fighting Evil.
- Take your initiation in the steppes of Central Asia.
- Find the missing piece to an ultimate theory, learn to control black holes, invent a philosopher’s stone, or create a marvelous piece of art that will forever shape the world.
- Become the captain of a spaceship and travel to the frontiers of distant stellar systems.
- Master seven liberal arts: choose between trivium that is focused on disciplines understanding human, quadrivium to strive to understand the laws of cosmic nature, or try to be versatile and find a balance between the two.
- Contemplate or passionately transform the reality.
- Find love and raise a family on Earth, or travel through time and space to find peace elsewhere.
- Be torn between your mission and your family; get ready to make some really tough decisions.
- Explore space to understand the essence of being human.
- Navigate in the world of moral complexity, a world without a clear villain, where your choices impact those around you, yourself, and the whole’s society’s trajectory.
- Beware: the arrow of time flies, and the entropy can only be slowed down -never stopped.

Casually about the project
For a while now, I’ve noticed that almost all modern sci-fi books and movies are dystopian. While many of them offer a feeling of hope, very few dare to explore a future that is inherently bright. That is why I decided to create this utopian IF.
This doesn’t mean the world I’m building is devoid of struggle or despair. It is still populated by flawed people who commit the same sins we do. The fundamental system of this world, however, is designed to bring out the absolute best in everyone who wanders through it. While the primary conflict is Humanity vs. Space, the sub-conflict is Very Good vs. Good, which I believe makes the struggles more nuanced.
This project is very close to my heart, but since it is a side project, I can’t promise regular updates. That said, it’s now officially on my hobby list, and there is a high chance it will continue to move forward. Thanks for giving the prologue of this game a try.
