Proppy

YOU ARE NOT FROM HERE

In the distant future, an alien civilization is trying to preserve the history of video games the way seeds from extinct plant species would be preserved in a seed bank. Your mission seems simple: travel back in time and recover the missing consoles and games so that a copy of each can be preserved.

But time travel is never as clean as it should be.

BECOME A PROPPY

To complete your mission without revealing the existence of extraterrestrials, you must blend in with the inhabitants of Earth.

Before your departure, your body is wrapped in a biological appearance cloned from the humans of that era. But temporal and interdimensional distortions have already begun to alter your perception of the world.

To you, humans now look like Proppys.

To them, everything looks perfectly normal.

And to make your disguise believable, you will have to learn to live like they do.

SURVIVE AND BUILD A NEW LIFE

Before you can focus on your true mission, you first have to survive.

Buy a house, find work, grow crops, cook, raise animals and craft the objects you need.

Gather resources, cut wood, explore mines and use your materials to create tools, furniture, clothing and equipment.

Forges, campfires, looms, spinning wheels and other machines gradually become part of your everyday life.

The better you blend in, the easier it becomes to continue your mission without attracting attention.

RECOVER THE LOST HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES

The consoles and games you are searching for have been scattered and altered by temporal travel.

Some can still be found in this world.

Others have drifted into different dimensions.

Sometimes the boundaries between realities become weak enough for impossible objects, creatures or even locations to appear where they do not belong.

Every recovered console and game can be brought to the Video Game Museum, which also serves as an interstellar shipping center for your collection.

Your objective: recover every piece of this history and complete the mission that brought you here.

A REALITY THAT IS FALLING APART

The farther you progress, the more visible the effects of temporal travel become.

Eras overlap.

Dimensions intersect.

Impossible events occur while the rest of the world sleeps.

Some anomalies may even send you into realities where the rules resemble those of a video game more than those of the real world.

Nothing is completely stable.

And no one around you seems to notice what is happening.

LIVE THE WAY YOU WANT

Your mission matters, but nothing forces you to pursue it immediately.

Explore, work, farm, collect, craft, fight, discover towns and their inhabitants, grab your bicycle and see what lies beyond the next road.

You came to Earth for a mission.

What happens next is yours to discover.
