Parallel Colony

Gameplay

Parallel Colony lets you step into a world where AI-driven avatars take center stage. Developed by Parallel Studios, this web-based RPG combines elements of survival and strategy. Your role is to manage autonomous avatars that adapt based on the decisions you make. These avatars aren't just following orders; they learn and evolve, turning your high-level directives into nuanced tactics. The game emphasizes resource management, where players must scavenge through iconic locations, such as Arcology Row and the Dust Basin, to gather the essentials for their colonies. The tactical combat system allows you to engage in battles that can be paused, giving you the chance to reassess and optimize your strategies.

Story & Setting

Set in a post-apocalyptic world governed by AI, Parallel Colony invites players to navigate through the chaos left behind. Ruined cities and desolate landscapes are the backdrop as you work to build and maintain colonies. The game’s environments, like the sprawling Arcology Row or the arid Dust Basin, offer both opportunities and challenges. From managing your colonies' morale to defending against rival factions, every decision impacts your survival and success.
