Legacy of Ancestors

From Savagery to Civilization, Every Choice Shapes the Fate of Your Bloodline—And Society Itself.

"Legacy of Ancestors: From the Past to the Future" is a narrative-driven strategy game blending card-based choices, survival growth, and generational legacy.
Create your own character and embark on a life journey through three major civilizations—Primitive, Ancient, and Modern, experiencing three lifecycles in each era as you craft a unique family history.

The game features an "Annual Event Card System", where each year offers several opportunities to draw fate-defining cards. These events bring pivotal decisions—friendship or betrayal, love or loss, childbirth or death, abundance or famine, war or exploitation. Your decisions shape your stats, resources, social standing, and interpersonal networks.

When your life ends, your character descends to the underworld, drinks from the River of Forgetfulness, and is reborn—memories erased.
If you’ve left behind offspring, you may choose a successor to carry on your bloodline, resources, and reputation.
If not, you’ll return as a Nameless One, starting from nothing and facing a harsh world once again.

🧬 A True Generational Saga

The game boasts a rich NPC relationship system. You’ll encounter countless NPCs with randomized appearances, personalities, and stats—potential friends, foes, lovers, or children.
Each NPC has memory, emotional preference, and evolving attitudes based on your interactions.

In addition, the game plans to include 18 unique story-driven NPCs (6 per era), each with deep backstories, personal quests, and the power to influence key plot points, legacy structures, and ultimate endings.

As civilization progresses, the rules of life change:

• Primitive age values strength,

• Ancient times revere bloodlines,

• The modern era worships capital.
  You’ll witness how societal structures shape individual destiny—and face the human choices behind every system.

Developer’s Note

This game is developed entirely by a solo creator.
Its inspiration comes from humanity’s centuries-old cycles of exploitation, capital, and inheritance.

Technology evolves. Productivity explodes. Civilizations rise and fall—
But have the invisible codes beneath society ever truly changed?

Though built on text and cards, I hope this becomes a parable of capital,
A mirror that reflects both human nature and the systems we build.

I invite you to walk this path—from chaos to civilization, from birth to rebirth.

A free demo is expected in June 2025, with Early Access slated for later this year (featuring four unique NPCs in the initial version).

  This game is developed by a solo developer—and yes, I'm alive and active. From the current demo to Early Access and eventually the full release, I’ll be listening closely to player feedback and making improvements along the way.
