Genius On-Line Product Catalog (a Parody) - Panoramas of Saeculum Game

The world as human beings know it is finite. There is only so far one can reach in senses and intellect. Whichever way you turn, and howsoever you may persist, you will always reach an insurmountable barrier.

Now Genius-VRE is here to change that! After years of extreme dedication, we have finally developed what no other could: a procedurally-generated environment that can expand forever and in an infinite spectrum! By honing the most advanced AI our world has ever seen, we populate this immense realm with NPCs who build their own settlements in logical locations (such as near water or fertile fields), expand these settlements through labor, commerce and migrations (or see them wither away), react to the player’s persona and hand out unique quests when parameters such as personal disposition, a five-year career as a blacksmith or having a family member eaten by an emerald lizard are met.

The Panoramas of Saeculum combines traditional open-world RPG elements with boundless details and endless yet always fresh action and, best of all, player agency: see a war break out between two tribes or a handful of nations over natural resources? You can choose sides, join an army, negotiate peace treaties, assassinate leaders, become a spy, neglect the conflict or wipe out everyone indiscriminately! Don’t like the transition between a renaissance and a baroque society? Write sociocultural pamphlets or bring in a 5x5 mile asteroid! Ensure you live to see the consequences of your decisions and those of the radiant AI by procreating ordinarily or by uncovering the mysteries of the very fabric of the universe. Become powerful and long-lived enough, and you will see NPCs kneel before you and build temples in your name; then smite them for their idolatry or lead them in battle to show the unbelievers the true extent of your divine radiance!

The paths are yours to choose. Genius-VRE painlessly extract the physiological characteristics, memories and emotions from your cerebrospinal fluid and limbic system to start you on your way as an immediately identifiable adventurer in a random location—from the middle of a desert to a cave that might one day become the center of a grand civilization—and it sends massaging impulses to your nervous system as feedback to your actions for an unforgettably immersive experience. Learn every skill you can imagine, from chopping wood to slaying amber-toothed ogres and reviving them in your service, and rise along the ranks of an ever-evolving world. Intermingle with tree-inhabiting elves or brawny orcs to ensure your descendants, who also become playable characters, fit your image and style. Have you heard that the salamander-people insulted the color you chose for the facade of your nephew’s villa? Genius-VRE will stimulate you all the way on your course to vengeance as you redirect their sole source of water, burn down their farms, cast a plague of blood-spew, incriminate them in the kidnapping of their neighbors' sacred goat-donkey, or come up with any other master plan beyond an ordinary person’s wildest dreams! Oops, did you set in motion a chain of events that will exterminate all traces of life in the cosmos? Find yourself reborn as the first self-aware being of a new generation and shape the future to your will. By measuring the level of variety in players' environments and adding diversity as needed, the infinite capacities of Genius-VRE ensure that there will always be another place to discover, another civilization to influence, and another law of nature to bend to your indomitable desire.

From archery, rock-climbing and pyrotechnics to the annulment of gravity, spread of ravaging epidemics and attainment of divinity—everything is yours to play with. You can do everything; you can be anything. Allow your mind to soar to unparalleled heights as you become the ultimate creator and destroyer in infinite modes. The universe bends to you.

Genius-VRE is immensely proud to present: The Panoramas of Saeculum! Who would want to live any other way?
