About Terminus
On New Year's Day the Winter Park Express went into the Moffat Tunnel and came out sixty-eight million years ago. A thousand people, a train, no grass, no grain, and in six hours the water runs out.
Terminus is a survival strategy game played one day at a time. Split your workers between water, foraging, the wall and bog iron for tools. Water and food keep people alive, the wall keeps the raptors out, and iron makes every job faster. Rain fills the cistern but can flood the stores. Every death goes into the record. Survive sixty days with as many people as you can.
The Cretaceous Line
Terminus is a free companion game to The Cretaceous Line by Silas Rook. If the game hooks you, the full story continues in the book series.
