About the Game

⚠️ Notice: This page has been launched early for development updates and community communication.
The overall game design and system architecture are now complete, and we have entered the full-scale prototyping and feature implementation phase. Please note that the screenshots and descriptions below feature placeholder assets from the early stages of development and will be updated continuously as progress is made. We plan to share engaging development logs—such as "research records"—via the "Events & Announcements" tab, so please **add the game to your Wishlist** and join us in watching the game come to life!


What if Leonardo da Vinci had been born in a different era?

IfStation is a historical simulation card game where you play as a god — placing historical figures, technologies, ideologies, and events onto a timeline to watch civilizations emerge.

Every placement changes everything. A scientist born too early becomes a prophet. A technology arriving too late becomes a religion. The same person, a different era — a completely different world.

Experiment. Observe. Repeat.

  • Draft cards from history's greatest figures and world-changing events

  • Place them on the timeline and watch cause and effect unfold

  • Discover hidden world states shaped by the order of your choices

  • Unlock titles and achievements across wildly different outcomes
