About the Game

Rise through the ages.
In Profectus you start with nothing but a world to explore. Your goal is to use what you are given to the fullest extent and work your way up from the stone age into space.

Profectus is unique in that you do not start with an inventory, you have to carry everything you own in your hands, on your hips or on your back.
Maybe one day, you'll learn how to domesticate packanimals.

The current version of this game, although not nearly what it will be one day, includes:
  • Seed generated breakable terrain with stylized water physics
  • An age system which limits buildable structures according to which age you are in
  • The first three ages, this being: Stone age, Bronze age, Iron age
  • simple storage in form of bundles
  • Wood and Brick as a means of building simple structures
  • Multiplayer
