When the excavation team reached the lowest chamber of the ruins, they were expecting pottery shards, maybe a few fragments of tablets - not this.
A board. A perfect 3x3 grid, carved into obsidian.
Symbols etched in gold. Faint traces of dried wax.
At first, we thought it was a ritual, maybe some form of forgotten divination - something between numerology and chess. But the deeper we looked, the more it started to play itself.
Each piece we placed seemed to know its position.
Each combination whispered of power.
Each round revealed a pattern hidden within the pattern.
What if this wasn’t a game invented by the ancients…
…but a message from them?
What is Order Automatica?
Order Automatica is a single-player auto battler played on a 3x3 grid, a simple surface that hides infinite complexity.
You discover and place pieces - each with its own role - and watch as patterns emerge from your design. Victory lies not in reflex, but in thoughtful placement and understanding the hidden order.
It’s inspired by occult conspiracies, alchemical diagrams, and the timeless human obsession with decoding the universe - from the Tarot to The Ninth Gate, from Inscryption to The VVitch.
There are whispers of secret societies, long-forgotten rituals, and a belief that the act of playing itself might awaken something older than mankind.
If you choose to follow, remember: the game is not just about playing. It’s about understanding.
