Desynced

The pitch
A sci-fi automation game where programmable robots, modular buildings, behavior chips, and logistics units replace standard belt factories.
How it plays
Desynced is built for players who want to automate decisions, not just item movement. Rather than relying only on fixed belts, you configure mobile units, assign behaviors, use components, set up mining and power, explore the map, and create robot logistics that can adapt as the base grows. The programmable layer makes the game feel closer to a systems lab than a standard factory: units can scout, haul, build, mine, or maintain workflows depending on how you define them. It rewards players who enjoy tinkering with logic, flexible infrastructure, and bases that behave more like coordinated swarms than static production lines.
