Alone or with friends, unveil the mystery of an AI on the edge of self-awareness and uncover the hidden truth in this blend of strategy, automation, and exploration.

Take refuge on a foreign planet, blooming with life and endless possibilities. Work alone or with a team to erect and automate a bustling base of operations, further scientific advancement, and repair the ship. Dispatch base units equipped with a variety of highly customizable, interchangeable attachments to explore an expansive, procedurally generated landscape ripe with untold dangers and valuable resources.

Once an optimal location has been established, send bots toting the latest in mining technology to harvest metal and laterite ore, crystal clusters, and other native resources. Don other robots with fabricators to manufacture metal plates and enforced frames, crafting the beginnings of a successful operation. Wield these building blocks to strategically construct foundational facilities and produce vital pieces of technology. 

Bolster structures with defensive add-ons such as turrets, shields, and others to withstand attacks from droves of hostile indigenous creatures and rival factions in multiplayer matches. Once fortified, traverse diverse biomes including lush grasslands, dense forests, rocky plateaus, and more to discover new materials for further expansion. Weather evolving climate changes while developing advanced technology to break into unexplorable areas, blights, and gather new materials.

Experiment with thousands of layout possibilities to create a free flowing, fully automated hub. Utilize a complex tech tree to further research and develop more advanced hardware. Create new challenges by adjusting the hostility level of alien lifeforms and uncover hidden secrets in the mysterious world ahead. 

Publisher Forklift Interactive and developer Stage Games announced that Desynced is coming to Steam Early Access on August 15, 2023, and will remain so for approx.. one year.

“Desynced features automation without belts,” said Andrei Podoprigora, CEO, Forklift Interactive. “Instead of managing the flow of materials, players must learn to manage the behavior of their bots. Fans of automation, base-building, and even RTS games will find something to love as they strive to build, explore, and survive on an alien world.” 

“As it stands now, you can enjoy the game for dozens of hours of playtime. Our vision is a game that you can play for hundreds of hours and restart for hundreds more, enjoying the beginning as much as the end. You can see the beginnings of many things we envision for the first full release. For more details on what's coming, check out our roadmap or hop in our Discord!”

Starting today, players will be able to enroll for the closed playtest on the Steam page.
