Project Chromata

From the Steam store

Welcome to Project Chromata

Project Chromata is a minimalist sci-fi idle game with a deep, unfolding mystery. You awaken as the Chroma Engine, a machine built for a single purpose: to create. In a silent, starless void, you must generate fundamental colors, combine them into increasingly complex forms, and reignite the memory of a lost cosmos.

Your Directive

The universe is empty. Your function is to fill it. Allocate your power, construct an evolving resource engine, and push back against the perfect nothingness. Each restored star becomes a new light in the dark and reveals another fragment of a forgotten story, bringing you closer to understanding what was lost and why.

The Game

Ten Stages, and It Doesn't Stay an Idle Game, Stage 4 hands you a war across eight realms. Stage 7 gives you a terminal and nothing else. By Stage 10 you aren't trying to win, you're trying to escape.

If you want one prestige layer refined for a hundred hours, this isn't that game.

If you want an idle game with an ending, it is.

Gameplay

Create & Combine: Generate primary colors and unlock advanced mixers to construct an intricate production chain.

Reignite the Stars: Transform your creations into Light and restore a vast, explorable Star Chart. Complete constellations to unlock powerful, permanent bonuses.

Automate Everything: Evolve the Chroma Engine with sophisticated automation that manages production and upgrades, allowing you to focus on restoring the cosmos.

Discover the Past: Recover fragmented records from the void and uncover the truth behind the universe, your creators, and your purpose.

Complete the Journey: Experience the complete story of Project Chromata, from the first spark of color to the final stage of the Chroma Engine’s journey.

Two More Games Inside

The Pixel: Survive, cultivate and automate as a living pixel in the Engine's broken circuits, if you can find it.

VoidCrash: Voxel automation in the void, currently an alpha playtest. Both launch from the main menu.

From the Developer

Thank you for joining Project Chromata. The complete game is now here, bringing its full story and progression together from beginning to end. What began as a small experiment has grown into a journey across color, Light, forgotten worlds, and the mysteries beyond the stars. I hope you enjoy uncovering everything the universe has been waiting to reveal. Your feedback and support have helped shape Project Chromata, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has joined the journey.
