This upcoming life sim features co-op survival, farming, factory automation, time-travel romance, ghost hunting and mechs, which is probably why it doubled its Kickstarter goal in its first 24 hours

Many games try to stand out by combining ideas from one genre with systemsfrom another, leading to a lot of games on Steam having descriptions that follow the formula “A + B with C elements”.
