What is AutoForge?

AutoForge is a side-scrolling, 2D automation sandbox where you play Otto, a magical golem searching for his former masters. Explore regions that combine procedural generation with hand-built locations, gather resources, build mana-powered production lines, research new structures, and defend your factory from hostile drones.

For you if...

+you enjoy building production lines and managing resources
+you want exploration alongside a growing factory
+you like unlocking technology to expand what you can build

Not for you if...

−you prefer combat over building and resource management
−you want factory building without exploring for resources
−you only want finished games, not Early Access
