6+ minute timelapse of playing the upcoming Project Matter game

Project Matter is a minimalist 2D text based factory design game.

Place an unlimited amount of free buildings, design a web of increasingly complex production chains, refine and recover numerous waste products into valuable resources, and research over nearly 100 technologies all in your quest to acquire stable matter.

Progression is driven by Science Packs. Each Science Pack is a physical resource that must be manufactured, routed to labs, and consumed for research. New research unlocks new production recipes, material families, recovery loops, refining methods, and deeper factory problems.

Waste is not optional cleanup. Tailings, slag, acid waste, spent chemicals, and other byproducts become required parts of the production web. Early waste may be burned or ignored, but later tiers depend on recovering, enriching, purifying, and stabilizing those streams.

Discover and produce stable matter to access infinite and repeatable technology for never ending factory growth
