Brendan Greene, whom you might know as PlayerUnknown from the smash hit PUBG, is dropping a new game called Prologue: Go Wayback! on November 20th in early access. But hold on, because it's not what you'd expect from the battle royale mastermind!

Forget about firefights and frantic looting! Prologue: Go Wayback! is all about survival. Think navigating dense forests, battling crazy weather, and relying on your wits. I was surprised at first, but the more I learned, the more intrigued I became. What's really cool is that every time you play, the game generates a completely new level and experience. That means no two playthroughs are ever the same!

While it's a fully playable game on its own, Prologue: Go Wayback! is actually just the first step toward something much bigger. Greene's got this ambitious plan to create entire worlds using procedural generation. This game is like a small piece of that puzzle, a way to test the waters and see what's possible.

Imagine yourself relying on paper maps and a compass, trekking through forests while battling rainstorms and blizzards. You'll need to find shelter in cabins, manage your hunger and thirst, and stay warm. Trust me, if you get too cold, you'll get hypothermia and that's game over. It happened to me once! You might also find yourself stuck in some dynamically generated swampland, so watch your step!

Prologue: Go Wayback! has a lot of different systems in play. You'll be dealing with fuse boxes, generators, starting fires, cooking, fixing up cabins with hammers and nails to keep the cold out. And since it's early access, the developers are constantly adding new stuff.

The weather in this game is no joke. It's not just a pretty backdrop, it's the main threat! I think it's a pretty bold and creative move to make weather the primary antagonist in a game.

I'm also excited about the whole idea of procedural generation. It's one of those concepts that's so ambitious that it's hard not to get excited about. Brendan Greene's vision is truly massive, and I know this because I recently got to chat with him for an hour about it. I can't wait to share more details with you soon!
