Foundling Watch, a Colony Game That Runs Without You
A persistent-world colony game where you write instructions for an agent, leave it running, and return later to see whether the colony survived.
Field notes
The described interface is a written strategy rather than direct unit control: players specify priorities, then an agent acts autonomously as hunger, thirst, health, water scarcity, and hazards change over time. The site says the world continues for hours and records every decision, near miss, and the exact tick of failure for later review. Its manual claims that most first colonies die within an hour, while a well-instructed colony survives several times longer.
