A lonely trek through machine-generated wilderness
Prologue: Go Wayback! drops players into a harsh, procedurally generated wilderness with one goal—reach the weather station. With no tutorials, no fixed paths, and an ever-changing world, survival depends entirely on your decisions, adaptability, and ability to read the environment in a truly raw survival experience.
Nature is the only guide
Prologue: Go Wayback! standout feature is its machine learning-generated terrain, offering endless replayability through unique landscapes and unpredictable weather. You'll forage for food, repair gear, and seek shelter—all while the cold and storms close in. The game thrives on environmental storytelling and tension, without ever spelling things out for you.
With minimal guidance and a slow-paced progression, this game isn’t for the impatient. The lack of objectives or tutorials can be intimidating, even frustrating at times. But those who embrace its hands-off design will appreciate the immersion and challenge of surviving in an unforgiving world.
A promising first step into the wild
As a tech-driven survival experiment, Go Wayback! succeeds in delivering a raw, atmospheric experience. The lack of guidance or tutorials, however, can polarize some people. The pacing is slow as well. Nevertheless, it may not be for everyone, but it sets the stage for something ambitious and worth watching.
