Game Overview
The end of the world arrives as a slow, terrifying collapse in this Bronze Age clan saga set in Glorantha. Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out blends interactive fiction with turn-based resource management, asking you to guide a small community through famine, supernatural threats, political fractures, and the death of gods themselves. Its tone is mournful but never passive: every season demands difficult decisions, and survival often means compromising values you hoped to keep. Familiarity with RuneQuest, King of Dragon Pass, or the first Six Ages adds context, but the story stands firmly on its own.
Most play revolves around consulting a council of strong-willed advisors, allocating scarce resources, managing diplomacy, and responding to illustrated narrative events. A request from refugees, an accusation of broken custom, or a haunting by furious spirits can lead to several plausible answers rather than a simple good-or-evil choice. Decisions affect food, morale, magic, alliances, livestock, and long-term social stability, while consequences may surface generations later in unexpected ways. You can carry a clan forward from Ride Like the Wind or begin fresh, and the short episode structure with automatic saves makes it easy to play in brief sessions without losing the thread.
What separates Lights Going Out from most strategy games is its willingness to make systems feel personal. Advisors remember promises, disagree over policy, and interpret events through their own beliefs, so leadership feels less like solving a spreadsheet and more like negotiating with a troubled society. More than 600 scenes, branching outcomes, and a built-in saga chronicle give failed plans and strange successes real narrative weight, while the setting’s unstable divine logic keeps even veteran players uncertain. Fans of choice-heavy games such as Pentiment, King of Dragon Pass, or Crusader Kings’ family politics should find plenty to savor, especially if they enjoy reading, replaying, and living with imperfect outcomes.
