In Restoration you take on the role of one of Mother Nature's servants, a mountain giant (mountain in physical appearance and size) and it is your duty since birth to restore the land and clean up after the battles between humans.

As the game progresses, humans start more wars simultaneously and technology advances, therefore destroying the land at a much faster pace. As much as it may infuriate you to watch your world perish at the hands of humankind, you must remain a passive entity and wait for them to eliminate their own population and simply repair the land they destroy.

As a servant of nature, you will cease to live if the greenery is destroyed, therefore resulting in a game over screen if the player fails to repair the world fast enough.

Obstacles:

  • Mountains – you might represent a mountain in appearance, however you aren't the most agile giant, and therefore mountains are the standard immovable obstacle of which the player must navigate around instead of over or through.
  • Bodies of water – although you are mountainous in scale, you cannot pass through large bodies of water in a single step, and therefore passing through a lake will lower your movement speed.
  • Volcanoes – similar to bodies of water, your movement slow is decreased even further, and some of the trees on your back, grown for the purpose of restoration, will get burnt by the lava – it is recommended for the player to avoid volcanoes unless very necessary.
  • Radiated zones – once the game progresses to the stage of nuclear war, some areas will be left uninhabitable and therefore unable to support flora and fauna – these areas will take a certain amount of time become inhabitable again, but until then represent a hindrance.

End game: The human race eventually wipe themselves out removing the greatest source of damage to nature, or the human race starts another cycle, beginning from natural resources and less feuds.
