Prologue: Go Wayback!

Prologue: Go Wayback! is a wilderness survival game in which you cross a rugged, procedurally generated landscape toward a distant Weather Tower. A new 64 km² world is generated on your PC each time you start, using in-house machine-learning technology and the work of artists and designers. You choose your route and whether to press on or wait out dangerous conditions.

Survive the wilderness

Weather and time of day shape your decisions. Rain can soak your clothes and drench fires, thunderstorms can alter the terrain, and blizzards bring snow and the risk of hypothermia. You manage your body temperature, thirst and hunger while foraging for edible food, finding drinkable water and moving between shelters. The weather can change at any moment.

Find your own way

There are no quest markers or scripted paths. You navigate with a map and compass, watch the sky and adapt to the terrain and weather, without a mini-map directing you. You can follow valleys in search of shelter or climb ridges for a clear line toward the Weather Tower, and decide whether to travel through a night storm or wait it out.

Shape each run

You can design a map, choose a game mode and set custom settings for your next run. The route you take and the choices you make determine how you approach the journey.
