Intertwined is a game set in a post-apocalyptic environment where the player must attempt to rebuild society with what scarce resources are put before him, while staying elusive and avoiding the evils of this new world. While some people may choose to stay isolated and live off the lands themselves, others may take on the hefty task of building or joining a settlement, and living in a community with the perks it provides. As the game advances, the focus of surviving turns to thriving as players take to creating vast cities and rebuilding society; advancing the world from a nuclear wasteland to a potential futuristic utopia.
