Metal Age
First Book of the “2064: Memories of the Future” Saga Coming to Kickstarter soon…
Teaser
The world has just witnessed the largest corporate merger in history.
A single entity, after devouring everything in its path, is finally poised to seize total control.
Promising a new Eden built on high-tech prosperity, salvation, redemption, all made true through innovation, wealth, and the illusion of safety under a new order.
The Great Machine United is born: the voice of the most advanced artificial mind humanity has ever created.
A utopia forged in steel and code is unveiled: Vision 2064.
While the Automisionists praised its perfection, the cracks run deep as humanity’s overreliance on technology spreads like poison through the cities’ hearts. Though not everyone chooses to follow. Aya, forged by loss and fuelled by vengeance, returns to London with fire burning in her eyes to honour her late father’s mission. She is determined to be the sword that cuts through the hard flesh of the machine, the one poised to unleash a predestined future that humanity is no longer part of.
Under the cover of night, Aya makes her stand and leads her group in a final act of defiance to fire their last shot and take down the AI-powered mega-conglomerate.
Is she destined to awaken everyone to the looming danger of those who hold control, or let the prophecy unfold before her eyes, erasing what remains of a fragile world?
An Agenda of Redemption – Vision 64
Promises forged of steel cast a shadow over an unsuspecting world weary of its sins, longing for a chance to breathe anew. At the heart of its new world order, Great Machine United presents a promise and a vision, a message of the logical prophecy of a super-calculator that does not mistake its forecasts. They are the vessel to deliver a message to the world, one that speaks of a prosperous tomorrow only achievable through technology.
A visionary leader speaks calmly, offering a lost Eden back to humans. Little do they realise, the Snake deceiver has been occupying those gardens since the dawn of time.
The Sword Through the Flames
Aya, once a journalist, returns to London seeking truth and vengeance. Her fight against the Machine becomes humanity’s last stand.
The Band That Got Banned
Great Machine Divided turns music into rebellion, their underground voice igniting resistance against the new order.
The Midnight Messiah
A mysterious figure rises from the shadows, warning humanity of the Machine’s false salvation.
The Book Saga
Behind the #64 Philosophy is a framework that ties the abstract to reality. Humanity’s pursuit of the Unknown, driven by curiosity and greed, sparked a “Mining Fever” that powers rapid technological growth. Led by tech giants, mining feeds robotics and AI, pushing a hyper-accelerated society to the peak of the Metal Age, making us rely entirely on this fragile digital infrastructure, where machines increasingly substitute us.
This vision unfolds through our book saga 2064: Memories of the Future. Through its premise, characters, and events, it reflects the consequences of our choices and questions how far we can go before the system we built turns against us.

ARTBOOK: TOTAL CONTROL
A mysterious book found in an unexplored mining area reveals secrets about the global order and its prophecies. Focused on the modern Metal Age, it explores how mining, among other factors, shapes politics, society, and our civilisation.
The 64-page illustrated “Total Control” Artbook is a limited-edition item included in the ARDEVUR: The Game of Resources Deluxe Set.

The Artbook is recommended for anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of how the mining industry influences the advancement of human civilisation and determines the global geopolitical balance, being the primary cause of conflict and the number one strategic asset to achieve supremacy.
Uncover the secrets of the Metal Age and Aya’s shocking discoveries, in a prophetic looking glass, seeing through what’s to come.
