Development studio and indie gaming publisher Crytivo is excited to announce the upcoming Kickstarter launch of Autonomica on April 15, 2025 with close to 10,000 followers!

Autonomica is an open-world survival game inspired by Solarpunk aesthetics driven by farming and automation, exploration, and futuristic tech. Build automated farms, craft advanced machinery, and explore islands filled with mysteries, ghosts, challenges and time-bending adventures.

Autonomica is an open world game inspired by Solarpunk aesthetics, driven by advanced automation and sustainable farming.


You play as a senior logistical engineer traveling with your father, a cargo airplane pilot, on his final cargo run before a planned vacation. When your airplane is caught in a mysterious storm and crashes on a remote island, your father vanishes without a trace.


In the aftermath, you discover that your crash damaged crucial automated farming structures essential to local communities. Feeling responsible, you use your engineering skills to rebuild thriving ecosystems and restore self-sufficiency, working closely with residents to overcome challenges.

Gameplay in Autonomica centers around creating and expanding your own farm from the ground up.


You’ll begin small - collecting seeds, tilling soil, and watering crops by hand. As you advance, powerful automation machines will unlock, allowing you to scale your production using conveyor belts, automated harvesters, packaging systems, and more. Raise animals, collect their products, and build out a fully functioning ranch featuring everything from chickens and cows to rare, exotic creatures discovered across timelines.
 

The game offers deep crafting systems that let you create your own unique farm goods - like juices, jams, or cakes—and brand them with a custom logo. These products can be delivered to NPC-run shops and businesses, directly influencing the world around you. For example, supplying the local bakery with more cakes might expand the building itself, unlock new recipes, and increase the variety of goods available to the community. Everything you produce helps shape the evolution of the island.

With no forced sleep mechanics or loading screens, Autonomica offers a seamless, immersive experience. Real-time seasons, dynamic weather, and shifting ecosystems make the world feel alive. You can build almost anywhere, however you like, using flexible construction tools that support total creative freedom. Customize your character, form meaningful relationships with NPCs, and travel across the island using mechs, buggies, bikes, or hoverboards.

At night, the island becomes stranger and more dangerous. In certain biomes—especially dense forests—you’ll encounter ghost-like phantoms inspired by Japanese folklore (yokai). These creatures pose a challenge, but can be hunted for valuable resources tied to the game’s time-travel system.
 

As you uncover more about your crash and the island’s mysteries, you’ll gain access to time-travel technology. You can explore peaceful or hostile future timelines. Peaceful timelines let you gather rare animals, plants, and materials to enrich your present-day farm. Hostile timelines, however, offer a different kind of thrill: enter the Finite extraction mode, where you'll battle phantom bosses and other players in high-stakes PVE and PVP encounters. Victory in these zones yields powerful rewards—but survival is never guaranteed.
