Tidelock A game by Tidelock Games
The Narrow Hour
Life fits only in a thin band between frost and fire, and the band never stops moving. Command a mobile base across a turning planet, mine its edges and build your way off-world.

Features
Hold the band
Every run is a race between what you can carry and how wide your world is allowed to be.
Command a moving base
Select your base and platforms, give orders RTS-style and move the whole network as the habitable band drifts across the planet.
Live between frost and fire
Seasons, latitude and the Narrow Hour squeeze the band. Stray too far and the cold or the heat will start taking your modules apart.
Mass and width
Everything you haul slows you down, and a sprawling network will not fit when the band narrows. Plan light, plan tight.
Mine the edges
Rich veins lie where it is least safe. Extract, refine into steel, wafers, chips and hydrogen, and let drones keep the chain moving.
Research and adapt
Collect samples, run labs, draw research cards and unlock protocols that bend the rules of a run.
Build your way out
Assemble and launch a ship while the planet pushes back: meteors, flares, storms, ice fronts and swarms drawn by your noise.
