Step into the late 26th century, where Earth is a shadow of its former self, recovering from a catastrophic explosion that decimated its population and rendered much of the surface uninhabitable. The remnants of humanity have banded into four distinct ideologies, known as Paths: Harmony, Dominance, Progress, and Salvation. While they coexist in fragile peace, these factions remain largely isolated from one another, communicating only at the last surviving city, simply referred to as the Capital.

Each Path harnesses the power of mysterious Time Rifts that emerged in the aftermath of the disaster, allowing them to revisit crucial moments from their past. However, while this manipulation of time can significantly boost their advancement, it poses a risk to the fabric of the time-space continuum. The urgency of progress is underscored by a dire warning from the Time Rifts: an asteroid enriched with a strange substance called Neutronium is hurtling toward Earth, bearing an energy signature reminiscent of the historic explosion.

Anachrony introduces a thrilling two-tiered worker placement system. To journey to the Capital or scour devastated zones for much-needed resources, players must recruit various specialists—including Engineers, Scientists, Administrators, and Geniuses—alongside Exosuits that fortify and enhance these specialists, both of which are scarce commodities.

The game spans 4-7 turns, depending on when the impending cataclysm unfolds—or if it can be prevented! Each turn is tracked on a dynamic timeline. By activating the Time Rifts, players can send resources back to their previous selves. Each Path has unique objectives that, when accomplished, yield significant victory points. While the Path settlements can endure the asteroid impact, the Capital will not survive. Ultimately, the Path that gathers the most points will claim the title of the new dominant force on the planet and secure its place in the Capital.
