Year Unknown on Steam
store.steampowered.com
A story-based exploration game about the very far future, where humanity has conquered the universe. With the help of two Artificial Intelligences, explore the conquered universe and uncover your purpose in it.

(Please let me know if this counts as advertising and I’ll remove it)

I’m a huge fan of weird “walking sim” type games - stuff like Naissancee, The Beginner’s Guide, Inside, etc… So now I’m finally making my own, with some more focus on story.

I’ve been working on Year Unknown for a few years now, and I’ve already made a couple devlogs if you want to learn more about the game. But now I’ve finally published a steam page!

I’m also kinda proud to have almost entirely used free, open source software to create it - Godot, Blender, GIMP, and Audacity.

Let me know what you think!

    They’re not really the same vibe, but they do have an extremely far future setting, vast intelligences called Minds that run society, and my favourite part, luxury space communism. Most people recommend you start on book two - The Player of Games since it’s a better example of what the series is. While that’s true I stated on book one - Consider Phlebas - and liked it, so up to you I guess.

      Wanted to update that I’m almost through the first book, mixed feelings at certain parts, but I’m enjoying the end on Schar’s world. Felt like the beginning had a lot of unnecessary sidetracks and random deaths. But I do definitely love the ideas, especially all the culture technology, so I’ll probably check out the second book.
