Terraformental

Terraformental is a narrative-driven incremental adventure. You wake alone, with no memories, in a derelict terraforming facility on an unknown planet that has not been terraformed. You must survive, discover what happened to the people who lived there and why you were abandoned, and follow the trail of colonists who fled the facility.

The time loop

Each time you die, the loop resets you to the moment you first woke up. You can learn from fatal mistakes and become faster and more efficient over repeated loops, but your body can only grow so much stronger or faster. Eventually, you need smarter solutions rather than relying on physical improvement alone.

Manage your resources

To survive, you need reliable supplies of air, water and food, but you cannot carry everything at once. Choosing what to use and when can help you travel farther, and the right priorities depend on where you are going.

Progress through actions

Each time you complete an action, you perform it faster on the next loop, up to a limit. Repeating sets of actions enough times combines them into a single action, making them faster and more efficient. This progression does not by itself solve all the planet’s mysteries.

Explore the facilities

Numerous terraforming facilities across the planet contain distinct challenges and opportunities. Once you learn where they are and how to reach them, you can visit them in any order. If a puzzle proves difficult, another facility may hold a way to make it easier.
