Live by the road

Maintain and refuel your trusty RV, pick up lone travelers at gas stations and listen to their bizarre stories. Get lost in a maze of unliminal spaces and be dwarfed by impossibly tall buildings. Upgrade your camper and reach the Fragments of Creation hovering in outer space.

Hike to enigmatic temples lost in the woods and set up a camp, work as a hitgirl for the local fuel cartel, rent a truck and transport ICBMs coast to coast or just shoplift from any gas station you encounter, the Road is full of opportunities.

Bullet hell meet boomer shooter

Numbers don't lie, and the spell DISASTER for your enemies! Combine over 200 spells to create over 20,000 combinations. Want a bouncing fireball that summons a goblin with each bounce? You got it! Craving a freezing wind that melts the bones of your enemies? We at Esoteric Heavy Industries have a grimoire for that. Sacrifice VHS tapes and lost media to add new properties to your spells. Keep mixing them to create a transcendent spell that will break the entire game's logic, but beware: the Surviving Gods don't like hubris and amateur witches messing with the very laws of nature.

Class struggle

You starting class will slowly change by doing activities reserved for other classes, you can create hybrid classes and unlock combined abilities.

Witch

Has access to a flying broom and can fire spells with her gun.

CEO

Capitalism, ho! MP is now replaced by cash. Buy companies and mass produce grimoires, hire researchers, and advance the study of magic.

Wrestler

Pummel your enemy to cast spells! Deflect incoming projectiles with your chiseled abs.

Fishergirl

You have a random chance of fishing any item in the game, you can complete the entire game just by fishing.

Cultist

Literally the spy from Team fortress 2, but meaner.

Parkour

See that wall? You can climb it. As long as you're facing a wall, you can keep jumping and wall-running, adjusting your trajectory with the vector gun's recoil and potentially breaking the movement system with bunnyhopping.

Realpolitik

Get entangled with the politics of the magical society: discuss the nature of the soul with Sir Aleister Crowley, have a tea with your patron Lady Margaret Thatcher, get your proposal vetoed by Baba Yaga, establish 4 hours workday applied to the entire world with the enchantress Circe.

Exhange favours or threats to gain votes in the Mage Guild council.

Who broke the world?

The millenium bug has fried most of technology and a future apocaliptic event that will occur on December 21st, 2012, is retroactively rewring history, breaking the world beyong repair and merging baseline reality with fragments of the 92 outer dimensions.

Time is also broken and localized time loops have started to appear, the only way to advance your reference frame and escape a time loop is to move over 80 km/h, easily reachable with your RV.
