Project Chromata

Project Chromata is a minimalist sci-fi idle game in which you play as the Chroma Engine, a machine built to create. In a silent, starless void, you generate fundamental colors, combine them into more complex forms and restore the memory of a lost cosmos. The game’s story follows the Engine through ten stages, from its first spark of color to the end of its journey.

Create and restore

You allocate power and build an evolving resource engine. Generate primary colors, unlock advanced mixers and connect them into a production chain. Transform your creations into Light to restore an explorable Star Chart; completing constellations grants powerful, permanent bonuses.

You can evolve the Chroma Engine with automation that manages production and upgrades. As you restore stars, you recover fragments of records from the void and learn about the lost universe, your creators and your purpose.

Ten stages

The game changes across its ten stages. Stage 4 introduces a war across eight realms, while Stage 7 gives you a terminal and nothing else. By Stage 10, your goal is to escape rather than win. Project Chromata has an ending, rather than focusing on refining one prestige layer for a hundred hours.

Two additional games

Two other games launch from the main menu:

• The Pixel: survive, cultivate and automate as a living pixel in the Engine’s broken circuits, if you can find it.
• VoidCrash: build voxel automation in the void. It is currently an alpha playtest.
