:: Marketplace You see traders selling handmade goods and fresh produce. Without industrialization, everything is crafted by hand. Will you? [[Buy something|Buy]] [[Leave the market|City]]

:: University The university still exists, but technology is far behind. There are no engineering courses—just philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Do you want to? [[Talk to a professor|Professor]] [[Leave and explore another area|City]]

:: Buy You buy a handwoven cloth and some bread. Life is simple here. * [[Reflect and return to start|EndingLoop]]

:: Professor The professor explains how society evolved through human effort and cooperation. Without engines, progress is slower—but creativity still exists. * [[Reflect and return to start|EndingLoop]]

:: Horse You rent a horse and travel through rugged terrain. Distances feel vast without modern transport. * [[Reflect and return to start|EndingLoop]]

:: Walk You walk for hours and finally reach a nearby village. People live close to nature, without rushing anywhere. * [[Reflect and return to start|EndingLoop]]

:: Blacksmith You hammer metal all day. It's exhausting, but fulfilling. Craftsmanship still thrives in this world. * [[Reflect and return to start|EndingLoop]]

:: Farm You till land with oxen and harvest with your hands. You feel more connected to the earth. * [[Reflect and return to start|EndingLoop]]

:: EndingLoop After experiencing life in a world without engines, you reflect on how difficult—but also grounded—it is. Would you rather stay in this slow-paced world, or return to the world you came from? * [[Stay here forever|FinalStay]] * [[Go back to your original world|Start]]

:: FinalStay You choose to stay in this engine-less world. You live a humble life filled with hard work, community, and simplicity. The pace is slow, but meaningful.

:: OriginalWorld As you blink, the world spins around you—engines roar, lights flash, and everything moves at full throttle. You're back in the real world: Skyscrapers powered by diesel generators, bullet trains slicing through cities, planes connecting continents in hours. Machines work for us, transforming seconds into speed, power, and convenience. Life is like fast and furious Engines gave us time, mobility, productivity—and dreams on wheels. You take a deep breath, realizing how much easier life has become. From bicycles to Bugattis, from steam to supersonic, this is the world we built— And it's always racing forward. THE END
