Age of Rust is a single player sci-fi adventure-action game. It is very similar to games like Firewatch, Myst, as well as Splinter Cell and Subnautica. The setting of the game takes place in the year 4424 and civilization has stopped in its expansion towards the stars. AI and humanoid robots called "Mechs" have turned against humans, which for some centuries has reduced the human population to almost nothing. Survivors are struggling with their surroundings in terms of culture and technology. Age of Rust's roots run deep and have always been shown to prioritize the player experience over loyalty to any technology stack.
