A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

ABOUT PROJECT 2025

A free roaming first person POV game (NB., not 3d), which intends trading, exploration, strategy and, since being an Atari 2600 title—aliens—which need be dealt with.

META

Using previously released games Roll Play mixed (mangled?) Goonboat, depicts a rural setting  being driven over by some metallic wheeled contraption.

Looks like a nice day.
