The Eternal Cylinder: A Unique and Emergent Procedurally Generated Game
The Eternal Cylinder is a game developed by ACE Team, available on Play Station 4 in the action games subcategory. This game offers players a unique and procedurally generated ecosystem that ensures no two playthroughs are ever the same. Players control a herd of creatures called Trebhums, who must explore a surreal world filled with exotic life forms and surreal environments while avoiding the constant threat of the Cylinder, a gargantuan rolling structure of ancient origin that crushes everything in its path.
In this game, players begin at the bottom of the natural food chain, but can mutate and evolve with new physical attributes and abilities by eating a variety of flora and fauna. Discover and adapt dozens of mutations, including new traversal skills like flying and swimming to reach new areas, and new senses to help overcome puzzles, challenges, and dangers. Each mutation will also change the physical look of a Trebhum, generating near countless surprising new creature designs. The organic exploration and puzzle design adds to the emergent gameplay, making it a unique and exciting experience for players.
