❤ Freeform Character Customization and Progression

Players can custom design as many characters as they want and build up a whole squad. Characters grow stronger through experience, not just in stats but also in their appearance and equipment. The game features no "hero" characters with artificially stronger stats - every character and NPC is potentially an equal.

❤ Unforgiving and Emergent Gameplay

The game world does not level up with the player, so even at high levels, players can still encounter threats that are much stronger than them. Survival is always a struggle, as the game does not hold the player's hand or help them when they are down. Players can easily be beaten, captured, enslaved, or even eaten alive by the harsh denizens of the game world. The highly dynamic and emergent gameplay experience means the world and its inhabitants are not artificially adjusted to match the player's power level.

❤ Realistic Simulation Elements

The game incorporates a number of realistic simulation elements that affect gameplay. These include a detailed medical system where injuries impact a character's abilities, a need to manage resources like food and water, and the ability to lose limbs that must be replaced with robotic prosthetics.

❤ Freedom of Choice and Emergent Narratives

The game allows players to forge their own path and write their own stories, whether it's building a thriving trade empire, becoming a notorious bandit or slaver, freeing slaves, or simply trying to survive as a lone wanderer. Due to the open-ended and unforgiving nature of the gameplay, players often end up with deeply personal and memorable experiences, with the stories that emerge organically through gameplay captivating many for hundreds of hours.
