Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure

Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure combines automation and real-time strategy in a strange fantasy world. You explore procedurally generated environments with Sparks, uncover traces of the past, gather resources, and develop automated workshops. The central activity links expeditions to workshop building: Sparks carry and craft items, while you design the systems that move them across challenging distances and elevations.

Expeditions connect the workshops to the surrounding world: you find resources in forgotten ruins, clear routes for construction, and bring discoveries back home. The village’s residents offer quests that unlock workshop buildings, while the mysteries of the past and new technology frame the wider story of change.
