Active Matter

Active Matter is an extraction game about operatives trapped in a time loop, repeatedly returning from death to the same point. You enter quantum-unstable zones to harvest active matter, gather loot and extract to safety before each zone ceases to exist. You can go solo or enter PvE and PvPvE raids in small squads, where rivals from other timelines, anomalies and transformed creatures threaten your survival.

The time loop

Active matter is the multiverse’s most valuable and dangerous resource. It changes things and bends space and time, and exposure can leave operatives and other survivors stripped of their minds and humanity. Other players remain your most dangerous enemies. You expand your syndicate base, upgrade your arsenal and take part in battles between syndicates over key sources of active matter, which offer a chance to break the loop and take control of your destiny.

Raids and anomalies

Zones contain physics-breaking anomalies that alter gravitational force and the topology of space, as well as eerie SCP-inspired objects and creatures transformed by active matter that attack on sight. You must harvest the resource and secure valuable loot before extracting, or risk losing everything when the zone ceases to exist.

Weapons and gear

Active matter can bring objects from other timelines into the zones. In the safety of your base, you can use it to replicate a specific item from another timeline. Though their origins are mysterious, weapons and gear draw on real-world military technologies and tactics.

Syndicate battles

Syndicates fight for control of passive sources of active matter. You can bring weapons and other gear into these PvP battles or craft equipment on site, and take part in battles that affect the fate of the multiverse.

Explore the maps

Battles take place in locations beyond the boundaries of space and time. Maps include a huge island with rusty Soviet industrial complexes and cryptic science labs that were among the first to study active matter. Exploring these locations can reveal clues to its origins.
