Imagine inheriting a laboratory filled with formaldehyde jars, brass tools, and the mysterious journal of an eccentric genius. In My Father's Work, you take on the role of one of these mad scientists attempting to complete the masterpiece left behind by your father. The atmosphere is thick with suspense and scientific obsession, where every experiment could lead you to glory or total madness.

The game is an epic journey spanning three generations. You must balance performing bizarre experiments with managing a macabre estate. But here is the real challenge: time is relentless. At the end of each generation, your current resources and experiments are lost, and you must ensure that knowledge and property are passed down efficiently to the next generation. It is a game of legacy and long-term planning, where you decide whether to aid the town or follow your path of ethically dubious experiments.

Beware, because your actions have consequences! Your experiments might irritate the locals, drawing angry mobs to your doorstep, or they might drive your mind into a spiral of insanity. Throughout three generations, you must manage your workers (which have different types for specific tasks) and your hand of cards to accumulate as many points as possible. Whoever manages to complete their father's legacy and become the most feared and respected scientist in the world will emerge victorious!
