About the Game

MoteMancer is a fantasy automation game set across six overlapping Elemental planes. Design elegant systems on a Hex Grid, combining ingredients, structures, and magic to reshape the world through alchemical insight.

Unique Tools

Grow Mana Roots and Mana Leaves to collect power from the sun. Weave Streamways to move ingredients across your base. Each Element offers unique mechanics, and each plane brings its own puzzle pieces to the table. Combine Elements for powerful, synergistic effects.

Research Through Alchemy

Infuse ingredients to uncover their hidden potential. Unlock new tools through experimentation where every combination is a chance to discover something unexpected.

Elemental Arsenal

Learn spells to Nudge structures, Levitate across terrain, or use Daycaller to control the sun itself. Magic isn't just power, it's part of the puzzle.

Key Features

  • Six overlapping Elemental planes, procedurally generated and seamlessly traversable in real time.

  • Automation on a Hex Grid, with dozens of unique structures that reward clever positioning and planning.

  • Ingredient-based research, enabling multiple simultaneous lines of discovery.

  • Element-specific tools and power systems, encouraging distinct solutions for each plane.

  • Entropy, a creeping adversary that tears through the fabric of reality and tests the resilience of your systems.
