Meridian: Fractured Eden

Meridian: Fractured Eden is a UE5 & Unity 6-powered survival crafting adventure set on a hostile alien world, where beauty and horror collide. Players awaken with nothing but their wits, scavenging and crafting tools from stone beginnings all the way to advanced nanotech.

Explore a living, procedural voxel world filled with diverse biomes, treacherous weather, dangerous flora, and horrifying fauna. From tranquil pink jungles to suffocating dark plains, survival depends on resourcefulness, research, and cooperation.

Key Features:

• 🚀 Multi-Version Game Launcher - Easily access all Game Branches & Versions from one singular place.

• 🌍 Dynamic Alien Biomes – Pink Hills, Dark Plains, Arcane Dunes, Glistening Forest, Pink Jungle, and more, each with unique flora, fauna, weather, and oxygen levels.

• ⛈️ Severe Weather Systems – acid rain, blizzards, heat waves, tornados, toxic fog, and planet-wide storms with real consequences.

• 🌑 Day & Night Cycle – watch the world transform; from safe exploration by day to horrifying threats at night.

• 🕷️ Hostile Creatures – terrifying strikers (alien spiders), shadow-like haunted entities, venomous snakes, predatory birds, and colossal flora like Vinus Arios.

• 🐾 Neutral & Non-Hostile Fauna – alien-inspired deer, buffalo, dogs, cats, and more — each with unique resources and effects.

• ⚒️ Voxel Terrain & Crafting – mine caves, carve cliffs, dive into underwater systems, and gather resources to shape your survival.

• 🏗️ Grid-Based Building System – construct shelters, bases, powered facilities, and even mobile bases with research upgrades.

• 🔬 Tiered Progression & Research Tree – start primitive, rise to industrial, and advance into nanotech weaponry, armor, and fabrication.

• 🚙 Vehicles & Travel – unlock small transports, large exploration craft, and cooperative group vehicles with cryostasis support.

• 🤝 Singleplayer & Co-op – survive alone or with up to 16 friends, sharing research, resources, and stories.

(Note: This game has no release date, nor will it ever have a full release date, and as the game progresses in development, it will have both an Experimental Test Release for those wanting to see our progress (even the buggy parts), and a Stable release (for when those bugs eventually get fleshed out over time. This game is NOT a full game and never will be, so there will never be a 1.0 version of the game.)

Meridian: Fractured Eden is developed by the A.R.C Foundation, a small but passionate group dedicated to immersive worldbuilding, survival depth, and atmospheric storytelling. For now, the group consist of one individual (@HTeamRecords ), and volunteers are appriciated.

Our mission is to craft a game that balances:

• Realistic environments.

• Challenging yet rewarding survival mechanics.

• A sense of mystery and discovery.

• Community Passion & Combination.

This is not just another survival crafting game — it’s a living, breathing world where every biome has secrets, dangers, and stories waiting to unfold.

We deeply appreciate every player who follows our journey. Whether you’re a survival veteran, a co-op adventurer, or someone who just loves exploring alien landscapes — your support drives us forward.

Please follow the game on GameJolt for updates, development logs, and sneak peeks into new biomes, creatures, and systems. Every like, comment, and share helps shape Meridian: Fractured Eden.

Q: What engine is the game made in?

Q: What kind of progression is there?

A: Players begin with primitive survival gear and progress through industrial tech to nanotech weaponry, armor, and advanced bases.

Q: Will the world be the same every time?

Q: Can I build bases?

A: Yes! The game has a grid-based building system, allowing bases, powered devices, and even mobile bases/vehicles.

A: Very. Some of the most horrifying creatures come alive in the dark — including massive alien spiders and corrupted shadow entities.

Q: Is there a story?

A: Yes — while the game is survival-first, there’s also a light narrative hidden within the world, waiting for players to uncover.

Q: Will the game be Free?

A: Yes — while there will be a way to support our team, the game itself will be fully free to play, as this is a game to help the team learn the concepts of true game development and community engagement for future projects.

Q: Will the game have a demo?

A: No — as the game will have a freely available Experimental Test Build, there is no need for a demo at any point.

A: Never — this game has no release date, and will be a continuous project for the team. And releases for both versions can be released at any given time, however players will be notified first before a release occurs.
