Epoch Cycle

Epoch Cycle is about leading a civilization through an apocalyptic world ravaged by extreme weather. You manage its survival through repeated cycles of destruction and rebirth, making choices that shape its development across four distinct eras, from primal struggle to cosmic ambition.

Survive the climate

The world’s climates are lethal and unpredictable: calm conditions can give way to cataclysms. You balance limited resources between exploration, expansion and survival, and make decisions to withstand nature’s threats.

Build and develop

You gather resources, grow the population and advance technology while expanding your cities and planning their layouts. You adapt settlements to extreme environments and choose administrators. As civilization develops, it reaches from scorched earth to the planet’s core and orbital colonies.

Shape society

You enact policies that set priorities between urgent survival and ambitious progress, such as allocating resources to rations or research. During crises, your decisions can carry a heavy cost and remain part of civilization’s history.

Explore the ruins

You search the ruins of fallen societies for knowledge and warnings, and establish outposts in hostile areas to obtain scarce resources. You can also venture beyond the ravaged world to explore and salvage across the star system.
