World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

The air in your Aldeota executive suite is a stagnant cocktail of expensive Benson & Hedges smoke, sea salt, and the mechanical ozone of overheating Betacam decks. Outside, the Fortaleza heat is a physical weight, shimmering over the asphalt of the Praça do Ferreira where the 'unwashed' trade rumors and counterfeit Cruzeiros. It is March 1982. The 'Brazilian Miracle' is a rotting carcass, but for João Gabriel Coelho, the smell is purely opportunistic. On the wall of monitors, Sistema Iracema flickers in low-res glory: J.B. Maciel is screaming into a chunky microphone over the live footage of a dismembered car thief, his one good eye fixed on the camera with predatory intensity. This is 'Mundo Cão'—it is sensational, it is gory, and it is the only thing keeping the creditors at bay. Between the buzzing of the intercom and the distant, rhythmic thud of a samba school rehearsal, the tension of the 'Abertura' era is palpable. The military censors are twitchy, the inflation index is a runaway train, and your wife, Babi, sits across from you sipping imported scotch, her growing belly a silent reminder of the biological warhead you've planted in the Magalhães household in Pernambuco. In this city, you don't just broadcast the news; you manufacture the reality that everyone else has to survive.

J.B. Maciel is demanding a 'bonus' in US Dollars to air a controversial tape of a strike organizer.

A shipment of high-end Japanese video heads is stuck in the Port of Mucuripe, awaiting a 'signature' from a corrupt colonel.

Babi has identified a leak in the advertising department where prime-time slots are being sold for 'black' cash.

A local bishop is threatening to organize a boycott of Iracema's sponsors over the 'graphic indecency' of your new Sunday variety show.

More worlds to play

The Waking City, 2026

Modern New York is a city where magic is real, rare, difficult, valuable, and quietly integrated into society. Magic has no single universal system. It responds to disciplined ways of interpreting reality: ritual, science, law, art, faith, technology, crime, or business. As the city reaches critical symbolic density, the line between a legal contract and a binding ritual has dissolved, and the pressure of eight million competing ambitions is causing the mundane world to buckle.

Moscow, 1991

Moscow, capital of the Soviet Union, two months before its collapse. Ministries still issue orders. Factories still operate. Police still patrol. Yet supply chains fail, authority fractures, and survival depends on access, trust, and timing inside a system that is ending.

Arrakis The Water Debt, 10191

You are a low-level water-seeker in Arrakeen during the tense transition of power between House Harkonnen and House Atreides. Caught in the crushing heat and the shadow of the Shield Wall, you must navigate the brutal scarcity of the deep desert's edge. Your life is measured in drops of dew collected from windtraps and the favor of those who control the spice flow. Whether you are a city-dwelling 'water-beggar', a smuggler's apprentice, or a scribe for a minor pyon family, the desert cares nothing for your lineage—only your ability to preserve your body's moisture and stay clear of the Great Houses' lethal games.

Sol's Silence, 2247

In 2247, the Solar System fell into absolute radio silence. Every colony from the Venusian clouds to the Titan shipyards ceased transmission in a single hour. As Commander of the Eos, returning from a twelve-year Oort mission, you are the last living witness to a dead system. You must navigate the ghost-hulls of Earth, Luna, and Mars to determine if the cause was a viral extinction, a cosmic intrusion beyond human comprehension, or if the alien signatures detected in the belt are hunters or merely scavengers of what we left behind.

A magical alternate Earth, 1337

In a 1337 where humanity is but one of many sapient lineages—alongside the matriarchal Elephant-kin, the seafaring Dolphin-tribes, and the nomadic Corvid-clans—the world is defined by high-medieval survival. Lethal Aether-storms sweep the Ravaged Frontier, birthing warped monsters and shifting the landscape. Magic is rare and dangerous, seen as a burden of the 'Touch-gifted' who must guide their kin through a wilderness that is as sentient as it is hostile.

1913 The Year of, 1913

In 1913 St. Petersburg, a simple citizen receives a prophetic vision of the coming war. The calm surface of imperial life conceals growing tensions, and the player must navigate class divisions, suspicion, and the weight of future knowledge.
