The game takes players on an expansive journey through the entire history of humanity, starting from primitive societies and advancing towards a future society that is classless and equipped with advanced technologies like interstellar travel and time manipulation. The gameplay emphasizes the importance of player choices, which influence the direction of historical development and shape the outcome of the story. Each decision can lead to different historical scenarios, making the experience highly interactive and personalized.
The game's historical progression is grounded in real events, allowing players to see how different choices could impact key moments such as the Battle of Marathon, the Punic Wars, the fall of Rome, the Crusades, and various revolutions, whether industrial or socialist. This realistic foundation adds depth to the gameplay, giving players insight into the complexities of historical change while engaging with strategic decision-making. The game's narrative underscores that history is not fixed, and individual actions can alter its course significantly.
An important aspect of the game is the mechanic that prevents predetermined outcomes. Players are encouraged to make strategic and sometimes tough decisions, especially concerning economic policies. For instance, a misstep in managing the Soviet republic's economy or failing to maintain strength and rigidity could lead to the game's end or unfavorable results. The game emphasizes that the Cold War's outcome is not set in stone, and players’ actions—such as reformism or reactionary policies—can influence global history.
Artistically, the game is enhanced with watercolor-style graphics, giving it a unique visual appeal. Currently in the late early development phase, the game has foundational mechanics in place but still needs further content, such as additional events, upgrades, visuals, and expanded narratives involving time travel and interplanetary exploration. The developers consider the community's feedback crucial at this stage, and they are actively seeking suggestions, ideas, and comments from players to help shape the game's future development and content expansion.
