Stranded in the Bronze Age.
Build your way home.
PvE extraction survival. Single-player, no PvP.
You built a time machine, and it dropped you in the Bronze Age. The machine is out of power, and all you have is a field tablet and a pocket knife. While you lay unconscious, the locals took its glowing heart, the Resonator, as a gift from the sky.
To get home, you have to make electricity in a world without a single power socket. It took humanity nearly three thousand years.
Raids
You head into the valley for clay, copper ore and hides, and any trip could be your last. The valley hears your noise. Stay out too long and night catches you.
Progress
You won't find a steel sword at level 5. Progress follows real science: why charcoal burns hotter than wood, why copper hides inside a green stone, and how two metals and vinegar make a current.
Exploration
The River Bend map is built by hand, not generated, so the better you know it, the longer you survive. The sun moves while you're out there, and night plays by different rules.
The locals are better armed than you. A stone spear barely dents a Scythian warrior's bronze, and wolves hunt in pairs.
Cook your food at the campfire or risk poisoning.
Bleeding, fractures, concussion. Stabilise in the field, heal only at the base.
Spears, bows, knives, the Scythian akinakes. They go dull but never break.
A home-made muzzle-loader. It hits hard, and the whole valley hears it.
Escape From The Past is still in development. Next up are new areas with deadlier enemies and the next chapters on the road to electricity. Follow development on Discord.
