Apocalypse Tale

Apocalypse Tale is a survival game set in an apocalyptic world. After traveling 100 years back in time by chance, you inherit a farm from a man named Anxi. You must survive threats such as starvation and natural disasters, while protecting your life and property.

Farm and gather

You can buy seeds and grow crops for food or trade. Use tools to gently “pet” plants and calm their emotions, helping them grow healthily. Crops of the same type planted at different times synchronize and mature together when the last one is ready. The farm includes more than 25 crops and more than 15 types of tools.

You can also fell trees with an axe, earning money and potentially finding rare species that improve your chances of survival. In the mines, a pickaxe lets you extract valuable ores, though the depths are dangerous. There are more than 15 types of ore.

Fish and excavate

Along riverbanks, you can catch mutated fish. Move along the shore to find active fishing spots and improve your chances of a catch. More than 20 fish can be caught.

You can dig ancient artifacts out of mine-tunnel walls. These relics have a strange vitality, so you need to keep changing position to uncover them before their spiritual energy repels you. There are more than 20 antiques to find.

Earn and trade

When money is short, you can take an exhausting, repetitive job on a factory assembly line. You can also earn cash by completing monster bounties, provided you are strong enough to survive them. Stock trading lets you try to grow your fortune by buying low and selling high. At the exchange, daily price changes affect when goods are worth selling; the shadow market offers greater profits for contraband and premium items.

Cultivate materials

You can obtain materials by killing monsters or through cloud farming, which lets you remotely raise certain creatures to harvest their materials more safely. Bio-Cultivators can upgrade materials into enhanced variants. Use tools to calibrate the cultivators for stable operation and optimal yield. Dark energy gives materials faint sentience during cultivation, and batches of the same type processed at different times synchronize to finish together when the last batch is complete.

Skills and survival

Your nine core skills improve over time: Farming, Crafting, Combat, Labor, Finance, Antiques, Logging, Mining and Fishing. Leveling them increases the value of items you sell, improves your capabilities and unlocks special abilities. Extreme Apocalypse Mode makes survival more challenging, with staying alive as your sole objective. The game includes a manual with information about its systems.
