Overview

Anachrony plunges players into a dystopian future where resources are scarce and time itself is a commodity. As leaders of distinct factions, players compete to develop their infrastructure, recruit workers, and harness the power of time travel. The core gameplay revolves around strategically allocating workers to various locations, each offering unique actions and resources.

However, the most innovative aspect is the ability to 'warp' resources from the future to the present, incurring temporal paradoxes that must be carefully managed. Balancing resource acquisition, technological advancement, and the dangers of time travel creates a deeply engaging and challenging experience, where every decision carries significant consequences.
