Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access because the scope of this visual novel is large and driven by player choice, branching storylines and complex narrative timelines. Community feedback will help refine character arcs, balance the pacing between sci-fi and adult themes and ensure that the Temporal War storyline delivers the emotional and cinematic weight we intend. Early Access allows us to expand the universe in structured phases while giving players a voice in shaping the experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that the game will remain in Early Access for roughly 12 to 18 months. This timeline provides room to release major narrative chapters, polish existing content, integrate player feedback and develop planned endings and time period jumps without rushing narrative quality.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include the complete multi-timeline story, major character routes, additional romance and betrayal paths, expanded scenes in the Cleopatra Temporal War arc, and further resolution of the Golgotha investigation.

Additional cinematic sequences, more adult content, video assets and expanded voiceover for key scenes are intended to be added as development continues. Performance optimizations and quality of life improvements are also planned for later updates.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version contains the opening acts of the story and the initial Golgotha mystery arc. It includes more than 45 videos, soundtrack implementation and introducing some fully voiced scenes.

The game is stable and playable while major story chapters and future timelines remain in active development. The soundtrack is implemented with original songs and instrumental compositions crafted specifically for the story.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access price is being set with plans for consistency as development continues.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is central to development. Players can report bugs, suggest narrative adjustments and provide input on new content. Updates may incorporate improvements, new story sequences, additional cinematic videos, and voice acting, allowing the community to influence the ongoing evolution of the visual novel.

About This Game

Humanity is on the edge of extinction.

After a deep space mission ends in disaster, the last remnants of humanity are scattered across the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, armed with knowledge and technology from the future, wages war by rewriting history itself. Ancient Roman legions collide with advanced starships. Entire civilizations are reshaped or erased. Survival demands impossible choices.

You command the remnants of the fleet, stepping into the roles of scientists, commanders, and survivors as humanity struggles to endure. Every decision carries weight. Choices made during missions, within your crew, and in moments of crisis determine who lives and who is lost. Trust erodes. Loyalty is tested. No action comes without consequence.

Travel across distant star systems and contested worlds shaped by an enemy that alters history to win. Navigate psychological tension, political conflict, and shifting alliances among humans and unknown forces. Encounter alien entities, uncover time altering technology, and witness the cost of a war that spans centuries.

Features:

• Branching visual novel gameplay with animated scenes that bring key moments to life

• Multiple character perspectives with meaningful choices and consequences

• Decision driven storytelling where relationships, loyalty, and survival are constantly at stake

• Adult themes, psychological tension, and power dynamics woven into a sci-fi narrative

• A large scale conflict against an enemy rewriting history to secure victory

Humanity is scattered. The enemy rewrites history. Time is the battlefield.

Early Access is available now.
