About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever thought about spending your weekend as entertainment for beings from another world? In Eternally Temporary, you and your fellow exiles are abducted by bored aliens who have decided to turn human life into an intergalactic reality show. Their plan is simple: place humans in intense simulations to observe the emotional chaos it generates. For us, what seems like just a few minutes of pastime for our captors is an entire lifetime of exhausting routines and inhumane jobs.
The game is a race against time (and sanity) to see who can 'clock out' and exit this simulation as quickly as possible. You will have to choose between two companies—and let me warn you: suffering is guaranteed in both! The goal is to accumulate the limit of Void Projection (VP) through the emotional burnout of your colleagues. If your team manages to reach the VP limit collectively, congratulations: you've won your freedom and won't have to endure any more experiments! But beware, if the 'efficient' group fails to reach the limit, the prize will be at least one more eternity of simulations next weekend. It's a game of hand management and cooperation, where the goal is, ironically, to succumb as soon as possible to escape the alien boredom. Prepare your psyche, choose your company, and try not to lose your mind before the next simulation!
