The old world has stopped: no power, no oil, jammed roads. Two survivors leave the road and find a river, trees, and no one else. You lay out the building sites; they do the rest, day after day, season after season, generation after generation. ### From camp to village Two settlers arrive at the edge of a map drawn from a seed: a river, a ford, forests, scree, sometimes a pond. You lay out the first cabin; they fell the trees and build it log by log. Then come houses in several models, workshops, a school, a dining hall, baths… up to a village of about forty villagers, for now. ### Four seasons of eight days The days grow shorter, the trees turn red, the snow falls. In winter nothing grows; on cold nights every house burns wood; frost destroys any crops left in the field. Summer prepares for winter, and it is short. ### Feeding everyone Berries, fishing with a spear, a cast net and traps, fields dug, sown and watered (even irrigated by canals), a smokehouse, an oven and bread. Fish runs out, fresh food spoils: you have to store, vary and plan ahead. ### Real people Each settler has a temperament, a morale, friends and rivals, sometimes a partner. Children are born, grow up and go to school; the elders tell stories, then pass away. Everyone ages a year each season. ### Survivors who arrive Some mornings, someone is waiting at the gate: welcome them or turn them away, sometimes with a whole family. Mason, weaver, mechanic, electrician, forester, fisher, herbalist, doctor, teacher… each key trade unlocks buildings, and the know-how leaves with the last one. ### The ruins Beyond the map: farms, a gas station, a town, a supermarket, a hospital… You send a team there on a map drawn in ink, with food for the road. They come back with canned food, seeds, remedies, steel tools, scrap, and sometimes what it takes to repair a van. ### Power from the ruins No new oil: everything comes from the ruins. Solar panels, batteries, motors, wind turbines, a bike generator, a radio… the electrician hooks them up. On the river, a paddle wheel turns a mill. ### A chronicle The village keeps its memory: a log of events, a chronicle of the year with its curves, a year-end card, graves with their epitaphs. You name the village; the river, the fords and the fields have names of their own. ## In pictures Views of the game itself, by day and by night, in all four seasons.

The first launch opens only the gentlest; the others open as you play. ### Peaceful For learning: no hygiene, no clothing, no illness, and no one starves or leaves “at the end of their rope”. The only level open at the start. ### Normal Clothing and the weaver come in, hunger that kills, and the departures of those who have had enough. Opens after a first winter survived. ### Harsh The full game: hygiene, illness, everything included. Opens after a first year completed on Normal. ### Custom One box per mechanic: clothing, hygiene, illness, starvation, departures “at the end of their rope”. Opens together with Normal. Variants also unlock from one game to the next, for good: starting in spring or fall, with a lean bag, or as a family with a six-year-old child. The game exists in French and in American English, chosen in the Options. ## What's new ### Version 0.3.180 · November 10, 2026 - English is open to everyone: the settlers' talk, the log and the chronicle, the game's explanations, epitaphs and funeral speeches, the cards (death, birth, trade, game over, village name) and the opening. - A game created in English gets American names (first names, villages, rivers, fords, ponds, fields, ruins); the same map stays the same in either language. - The language is chosen in the Options ("Language" line); at first launch, the game picks the system's language. - On a phone, the birth card's "Later" button is easier to tap. ### Version 0.3.179 · November 10, 2026 - Nearly the whole interface now exists in English: a settler's profile, Villagers, Food, Inventory, a building's detail, the building panels, Power, Clothing, Surroundings, Know-how, morale, housing, health. - What a save file keeps in French (a settler's past, illness notes, remedies, posts) is shown in the game's language. - A few French slips fixed.

To improve the game, it sends figures about the games played, which you can turn off; exactly what this service does is in the [privacy policy](https://autonomous.lopody.fr/confidentialite.php?lang=en). ### Figures, not people How far games go, population and food day after day, what happens in them as codes, the windows opened, errors, smoothness, the device in broad bands. Never a name, a text you typed, or your IP address. ### Your choice In the Options: “Game data” to stop sending anything, “Erase my data” to erase from the server everything tied to your installation's number. That number is drawn at random and renewed every 13 months. ### This site No cookies, no trackers, no analytics, no font or resource loaded from a third party: everything comes from this server. ## Download Autonomous is in development: a new version comes out often, and this page always gives the latest. ### Windows Version 0.3.180 of November 10, 2026, 59 MB. 64-bit Windows PC.
