Generations of mad scientists vie to complete their inherited masterwork and restore a sinister estate while placating an unruly town.

Gameplay

App-driven narrative chapters frame competitive worker placement with different worker types and location restrictions. Across three generations, players complete experiments, manage resources and town standing, and preserve journaled knowledge and estate upgrades while everything else resets, pursuing victory points and the elusive masterwork.
