What’s Prologue: Go Wayback! about?

Prologue: Go Wayback! is a survival game, similar to Rust, where every decision of yours will play a major role in determining your fate. It’s a completely single-player experience with a vast open world featuring classic survival mechanics, such as gathering resources, finding shelter, foraging for food, and keeping an eye on the horizon for danger.

It also has procedural generation, which means the number of possible maps becomes limitless. The world is dynamic and unpredictable, the weather can change at a moment’s notice, forcing you to adapt to harsh storms, freezing temperatures, and the relentless forces of nature.
