Jenshi

A broken, semi-apocalyptic world of ruin and war where you start as nobody in particular and pick your own way to matter, or not. There's no fixed hero role here: you can feed on the chaos, get crushed by it, or try to push back against it.

You choose an origin and get dropped into the sandbox from there, moving through the world on a clock, paying rent, poking around the tavern, and running into NPCs who keep their own schedules instead of standing around waiting for you. It's an early foundation right now, so the systems on offer are basic: movement, time, money pressure, and the first threads of a world that's supposed to grow around you rather than the other way around.
