Explore a new world every time you play
In Prologue: Go Wayback! no two journeys are ever the same.
A brand new 64km2 world is generated on your PC every time you start the game. Our in-house machine-learning technology empowers our artists and designers to create a system that lets you generate billions of beautiful, natural worlds that are waiting to be explored.
Chart your own course through the rugged terrain toward the distant Weather Tower. How you get there, and whether you survive, is entirely up to you.
Embark on an adventure to overcome the wilderness
Dynamic weather and time of day shape your every decision.
Rain can soak your clothes and drench your fires. Thunderstorms can wreak havoc on the terrain. Blizzards bring snow and the danger of hypothermia.
Forage for edible food, seek sources of drinkable water, and chart your path from shelter to shelter.
Your choices, your world, your story
No guides. No markers telling you where to go next. Just your instincts, your tools, and your choices.
You will need to read your map, use your compass, keep an eye on the sky, and adapt to the terrain and the weather if you want to survive.
Will you stick to the valleys, searching for shelter? Or climb the ridges for a clear line to the Weather Tower? Will you brave the storm at night, or hunker down and wait it out?
Your story is what you make it.

The first game in our path towards Project Artemis
Prologue: Go Wayback! is the first of three games that lay the foundation for our studio’s ultimate vision: Project Artemis. A platform for massive, living multiplayer sandboxes where millions of players can shape their own worlds and emergent stories.
Go Wayback! represents our ongoing research into machine-learning models that can empower our developers to rapidly generate realistic, large environments in Unreal Engine 5 for players to explore.
