The Thousand Of Us (WIP)(Updated 9/12/25)

Name: The Thousand Of Us

Genre: Superpowers/Post-Apocalyptic/ Sci-fi

Story plot:

Your story begins with what most believed to be the end of the world. A blinding flash lit up the night sky, turning darkness into day as thousands of missiles launched in a desperate attempt to save humanity collided with a massive asteroid hurtling toward Earth.

You wake up two years later to learn that the asteroid never destroyed the planet — but what it brought changed everything. The impact released a new, unknown element, and when mixed with the radiation that drenched the Earth, it triggered a wave of genetic mutations that wiped out almost the entire human race. And every surviving lifeform fell into a two-year hibernation.

Now, only about a thousand humans remain—all of them were under 18 when the disaster struck.. And you are one of them. Each survivor has awakened with a unique ability, a mutation unlike any other. But you’re not the only one who changed. Every living organism on Earth, from plants, to animals, even the environment itself has been altered… and they’ve all woken up just as hungry as you.

Will you focus on Survival and Rebuilding?
Try to Unite or Conquer the remaining survivors?
Seek a Cure or Solution to reverse the mutations and restore the planet?
Or will you find yourself struggling with morality, torn between power and compassion?

Uncover hidden powers, form alliances, make enemies, and carve out your place in this new and dangerous world. Every choice you make shapes the fate of humanity.

Features:

  • Play as Male, Female, or Non-binary — fully customize your appearance, personality, and demeanor.

  • Choose your ability from a vast list: from a simple enhanced intellect to rapid regeneration, earth-shattering strength, or even necromancy, and more.

  • Fight to survive against mutated creatures, hostile environments, and other survivors who might see you as a threat, or an opportunity.

  • Define your character’s attitude: cold and calculating, kind and reserved, or anything in between.

  • Explore with almost endless possibilities. This IF is a passion game that aims to be one of the most branched out IF games ever.

  • Mild gore and optional explicit scenes (with fade-to-black options). Death is a real possibility depending on your decisions. Make every decision with caution as just about every character in this game can die as a result of your choices.

  • Play optional side stories and step into the shoes of side characters to make choices that influence the main story line.

  • Each power path offers a completely different route (Some even offer multiple).

Romantic Interest:

  • Currently, nearly every major character can become a romantic interest, depending on your choices and how you interact with them. (Officially, there are already more than 10)

  • Romance male, female, or non-binary characters.

  • Polyamory routes are possible.

  • Some relationships evolve independently of the MC — your choices can change their lives in unexpected ways.

:sweat_smile: Code is pretty beefed up because I want to branch this out as much as possible so you have the liberty to make whatever choice you desire and live with the consequences.

Patrons get releases ahead of the general public.

Thanks a lot. I’ll try to keep the storyline flowing as much as the branches and also try to update at the very least every two weeks, so hopefully it doesn’t disappoint.

Yeah. I wasn’t really planning on rushing it cause then I might end up losing sight of what I wanted this work to turn out as.
Oh and I’ll really appreciate any feedback or suggestions for when you finally read the demo.

I always feel anxious when a new WIP that includes “choosing your powers” gets released. I’ve yet to see one get finished but i hope this one manages. I like it so far

This sounds really neat! I’m adding your demo to my list of things to play. :slight_smile:

And because I’m a nerd, if anyone is interested in real life planetary defense, here’s a good resource from the Planetary Society!

Alrighty so I have played the demo and I have to say that so far from what you’ve put in it, it is super good!

I went through and read through all the power paths and even though some are impossible and some are just rare it doesn’t really feel like you’re any less of a super powered person which is a huge plus. In terms of things like spelling mistakes I didn’t really find any but that could just be because of my lack of spelling knowledge. Other than the error with the saving of the game everything else seemed good

Hopefully this helps a bit mate the game seems great so far

A fresh and quite ingenious concept on the theme of superpowers and the plots that include dystopian worlds, quite an original plot, I loved it, I will definitely support this project, your idea is creative and fascinating and I definitely think that one day it will be a great story when It’s done, good job, sigue asi, en serio me encanto. :slightly_smiling_face: Now, without wanting to sound impatient, how often will there be updates to the demo? one a month? :thinking:

Can someone describes all the powers and the way how your MC can use and improve on them? Edit: Well, I just saw a little of necromancy just now so I gotta say… Read a little too much of Solo Leveling? Not that I mind it. If anything, I like it somewhat.
