Tactical survival · Northern Thailand

Under Two Skies

Rotational Farming in the Shadow of the Satellite

Every four months, the mountain villages of Northern Thailand must fight a high-tech eye in the sky — hoping only to grow enough rice to fill their bowls.

01 / Life on the hillside

6 hours. 1 crew. A village counting on you.

Every dry season, the village prepares its fallow fields for rice. In a fictional zero-burn regime, familiar work becomes a race against surveillance. What you burn, what you protect, and what you leave behind will shape the next season.

Prepare

Before the first spark

Read the slope and the wind. Cut a firebreak, choose your approach, and put your crew where they can help.

Burn

14:00–20:00 in-game

Guide a living fire across the hillside. Shifting wind and rising heat can turn a careful plan into a scramble.

Cool

Before the satellite pass

Find hidden heat and douse the last embers. The work is only done when the ground is cool enough to leave.

02 / Before the first spark

The Line on the Mountain.

Why let a field rest? Why clear a firebreak? A short story about land, a village, and the heat a satellite can see.

Beta 3 opens your first New Game with this story, narration, background music and subtitles. Pause or skip it, then replay it from How to play. The evening scan is a game rule.

Read the narration

Our home is part of this forest. We tend established fields in cycles.

We grow rice for a season, then rest the field for years. Plants return while we farm another plot.

Today we prepare a rice field together. Ash from plant residues returns some nutrients to the soil.

Before lighting, clear leaves and branches to bare soil. The firebreak interrupts fuel between field and forest.

Embers can still fly across. Read the wind. Let your team help watch the forest edge.

The flames are gone. The ash is still hot. Douse the remaining embers.

In this game, the satellite scans each evening. It sees hot spots, but not the lives beneath them.

Prepare the boundary. Control the fire. Cool the embers. Leave enough cooled ash, and no hot spots before the evening scan.

03 / From the beta build

See the hillside in motion.

Gameplay sample recorded directly from the development build in Godot 4 on macOS. Demonstrates tactical rotational farming, wind observation, firebreak clearance, controlled ignition, and ember suppression.

04 / The people behind the work

A shared field. A shared future.

There is more at stake than the next patch of ground. Each member of this fictional community brings a different kind of knowledge.

The farmer

Kha-nae

Leads the crew. Balances the burn, the harvest, and the people who depend on both.

The elder

Ta-poh

Reads the wind. Years on the hillside become a warning at just the right moment.

The forest guardian

Mu-naw

Seeks out hidden embers. A watchful eye and a little water can protect a whole slope.

The granary keeper

Mae-Lu

Keeps the village fed. Every decision in the field comes home to the granary.

05 / The next season

Before you play

Can I play in my browser?

This is a downloadable PC game. The website is a preview, not a browser version.

Where can I download it?

Beta 3 (0.3.0) is free on our download page, linked from the Beta section above. It needs a PC with a mouse and keyboard or a gamepad.

Is the game in English?

Yes. Choose English or Thai at the top of Settings, from the title, preparation screen or paused game. Text, subtitles and recorded speech switch together. The game starts in Thai and remembers your choice.

What computer do I need?

Windows 10/11 x86_64 or a Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel). Linux/Steam Deck builds are available but untested. Minimum GPU/RAM and macOS version requirements are still being measured; we cannot promise performance on every computer.

When will it be released, and what will it cost?

The public release date and price have not been announced. We are testing the game before making those commitments.
