About the Game

The Earth is exhausted and at war. As one of the first volunteer colonists, your mission was simple: land on Alia Domus and help prepare humanity's new home. But the plan failed. The war in the Metropolis cut off the supply shipments, support ceased, and you find yourself completely isolated, bare-handed, on an unknown planet. To survive and make this world thrive, you will have to rewrite the history of human progress from absolute zero.

Evolve Through the Eras

In Alia Domus, knowledge is your greatest survival tool. Collect local resources and use them to research and unlock new technologies. By mastering the advances of one period, you open the doors to the next great era of humanity.

  • The Historical Journey: Advance through 9 distinct technological eras — Paleolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, High Middle Ages, Late Middle Ages, Modern Age, Industrial Era, and Digital Era.

  • From Stone to Laser: Start by chipping stones to create rudimentary survival tools and progress to cutting-edge technology, developing advanced defenses and laser weaponry.

  • Character Evolution: Everything you do in the world generates experience. Gain points and customize your core attributes — Strength, Agility, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality — to shape parameters that directly impact your playstyle.

Explore, Cultivate, and Conquer a Lush World

Rendered in a detailed and immersive pixel art isometric perspective, the planet offers a rich, dangerous, and living environment to be tamed.

  • Magnificent Biomes and Flora: Explore a lush nature with diverse climates, mysterious caves, and more than 140 types of plants to discover and collect.

  • Cultivation System: Master the land and grow various agricultural crops to ensure your sustenance and precious resources for your colonization journey.

  • Threatening Fauna: Face the challenge of fighting 126 unique creatures scattered across the planet, collecting materials and essential drops for your survival and crafting.

Total Freedom of Exploration

Without support from Earth, your own pace dictates the rules of progression.

  • Complete Navigation: Explore the planet without fear of getting lost through a vast world composed of 85 possible maps/scenarios. Use the local minimap on each screen and guide yourself by the integrated World Map, where you can add your own custom markers to remember important points.

  • Quests on Your Own Time: Follow the initial guidelines of the Metropolis command manual and complete missions for the various NPCs that inhabit Alia Domus. The quests are varied, but you have total freedom to temporarily ignore them, explore the world, and improve yourself at your own pace.

A Striking Atmosphere

Experience this science fiction odyssey wrapped in an immersive setting, where every discovery, cultivation, combat, and achievement is guided by an engaging soundtrack, composed to give the exact weight to your journey of civilizational construction.
