Press & creators
Everything needed to write about or record Last Known Reality accurately. Coverage, streaming and video are welcome, including monetised video.
The project is pre-alpha. Please label footage and screenshots as work in progress. There is no release date, no store page and no public demo yet; if you need to say when, the honest answer is that the next milestone is a vertical slice, announced on the Discord.

Key features, as they stand today
These are systems that run in the current build. Where the design intends more than is built, this site says so on the page rather than here.
- A fixed thirty-tick-a-second simulation that owns gameplay truth; every overlay draws that truth rather than approximating it.
- Perception evaluated per guard: vision cones drawn from the guard's own sight queries, filling as detection climbs.
- Noise as a first-class signal, with rings drawn at the radius hearing actually uses.
- Route planning on a walkability grid: an impossible order is refused, not attempted.
- A squad of three with distinct bodies and abilities — Emma, the drone Kestrel and the heavy frame Bastion.
- Concealment that the simulation agrees with: prone, hiding places, grass as cover, darkness.
- A tactical camera that orbits, zooms and frames the character it is following.
- Weather, water, fog, fire, a skybox-and-cloud sky, and twenty-five graphics options that gate them.
- Gamepad support, saves, and an in-game World Editor the levels are built in.

Last Known Reality is a story-led isometric real-time tactics game by Enthusiast Guy, built in Godot. Physics professor Emma Callaghan opens a rift beneath her new house and finds her own city occupied by a distributed intelligence descended from human minds. Reading patrols, planning routes and executing synchronized openings, she leads a small squad through an alternate Spark Grove where assimilation is called survival. Currently in pre-alpha development for Windows, with Linux and macOS intended.
