Vita ex Machina

Description

In *Vita ex Machina*, you are a lone hunter-gatherer surviving in a post-post-apocalyptic world dominated by massive, hostile machines. Armed with a bow and spear, your mission is to hunt these mechanical beasts, harvest their scrap, and gather resources to help your tribe endure. Every decision matters in this turn-based roguelike, where tactical movement and resource management are key to survival. You have only one hit point—making stealth, positioning, and smart combat essential. Large machines require strategic targeting: disable their individual components to bring them down efficiently. Craft extra arrows using wood from shrubs and shards from defeated machines, and manage your stamina carefully as actions like running, sneaking, and attacking deplete it. Movement options include walking, rolling, and sprinting, each with unique stamina costs. While the game lacks a win condition in its current form, it showcases a compelling vision of survival against overwhelming mechanical odds. Every step could be your last.
