Primordio

Primordio is a game about chain lightning, where you guide a drifting wisp through swarms of enemies. Drag the wisp to move it; lightning arcs between enemies on its own, so you do not need to aim. The story frames you as a wisp of creation in a futile struggle against life itself.

Guide the lightning

As your builds develop, chain lightning can clear a whole screen, continuing from one target to the next. The payoff is reaching a point where you can stand still and watch an entire wave come apart in one arc.

Build power over runs

Movement uses drag-and-drop rather than requiring twitch reflexes or constant dodging. Early runs are straightforward while meta-progression accumulates, and the power curve opens up as you continue. Each run banks progress toward permanent upgrades, even if it ends early; once the upgrade tree opens up, its branching builds mean runs rarely play the same way.

Season One

Chain lightning can shrink, break apart and flicker out instead of simply fading, with its thickness scaling to the number of chains left. Season One also adds leaderboards and a growing in-game compendium that lets you explore the game's systems at your own pace.
