About this game

A legacy worker-placement game about mad scientists across three generations. Each generation, you conduct experiments, gather resources, and push the boundaries of science while the townspeople grow increasingly suspicious. Your choices carry forward: discoveries made by grandfather inform the father's work, which shapes what the grandchild can achieve. The legacy elements add permanent story developments, new locations, and evolving relationships with the town. Three unique campaign scenarios offer different narrative paths through the generations.
