Game Overview
Parallel offers players a chance to immerse themselves in a thrilling sci-fi universe where strategy and card knowledge are vital.

Unique mechanics like the Shroud’s Singularity and Earthen’s Decay add depth to battles, allowing players to utilize units, effects, upgrades, and relics.
Story Background
In Parallel’s lore, Earth, once a prosperous planet, faced an energy crisis that threatened all life. In a desperate bid for survival, scientists attempted to harness energy through fission, augmented by anti-matter. This move led to catastrophic consequences, forcing humanity to seek refuge elsewhere. This exodus resulted in the creation of five parallel civilizations:
The Earthen
Those who remained on Earth after the disaster, the Earthen, thrived by adopting patience and perseverance. With unmatched defensive capabilities, they can either maintain peace or use the newfound strength to dominate battles.
The Kathari
On Jupiter’s moon, Europa, the Kathari achieved remarkable advancements in human genetics. With their ability to clone and replicate, they fielded numerous symbiotic units, giving them numerical superiority.
The Marcolians
Setting their sights on Mars, the Marcolians claimed the red planet. Their tactics rely on swift aggression, supported by powerful armored vehicles and artillery.
The Augencore
Escaping to their foundry ship Caine-1, the Augencore modified themselves for deep space voyages. Their strength lies in piloting mechs and enhancing units bionically to make them nearly invincible.
The Shroud
A mysterious faction whose location remains unknown. The Shroud specializes in controlling the battlefield and unleashing potent units in the latter stages of a game.
The Return to Earth
Over 10,000 years, each Parallel evolved, establishing civilizations beyond Earth’s boundaries. But the energy source humanity once sought on Earth has now been realized, beckoning all Parallels back. This newfound energy sparks conflict, as each faction believes they have the rightful claim to Earth.
Conclusion
Parallel promises an engaging blend of strategic gameplay and immersive storytelling. With its listing on Steam, players around the world can soon dive into its rich universe and determine the fate of Earth.
