About This Game

Enter ANEURISM IV, a sprawling metropolis where the proletariat works without question and the air is thick with decay. As a Spirit—a spectral entity on the verge of becoming flesh and bone—you stand at a crossroads. The city is yours to influence, disrupt, or simply observe. With no set goals or rules, how you engage with this world is entirely up to you.

From the hardworking Prole to the affluent Banker, each fate offers unique abilities, challenges, and ways to interact with the city and its inhabitants. Your choice defines your journey:

  • Align with the Cortex to stabilize and protect the city.

  • Join the Scumbags or Zealots to spread the Rot and sow chaos.

  • Remain Neutral and immerse yourself in daily life, working in factories or exploring the city.

An ever-present threat, the Rot visibly alters the city as it spreads. Roles like Liquidators and Scumbags are pivotal in either containing or exploiting this menace. If left unchecked, the Rot will consume everything, leading to the city's demise.

A Living, Breathing City

ANEURISM IV is a sandbox simulator first and foremost. The city reacts dynamically to player actions:

  • Take Down the City: Collaborate with others to bring about the city's downfall and witness its reset.

  • Protect the City: Work to maintain order and keep the Rot at bay.

  • Live Your Life: Engage in everyday activities or carve out a unique path—it's your choice.

Survival depends on your willingness to work. Earn credits by taking on various jobs—labour in factories, manage resources as a Prole, or manipulate finances as a Banker. These credits are your lifeline, allowing you to purchase necessities from shops, trade for valuable goods, or invest in property.

No Rules, Only Consequences

In ANEURISM IV, there are no rules dictating your actions. Every decision you make impacts the city and its inhabitants. Will you bring stability or chaos? The choice is yours.
