FDR World

Step into the roaring heart of 1920s New York City – a world of jazz, invention, and revolution. The streets hum with Model Ts and marching bands, and every corner tells a story of ambition, courage, and change. But in this reimagined city, history breathes differently – its heroes, thinkers, and dreamers live again, not as people, but as Palworld-inspired legends you must collect and command.

You'll encounter over fifty historical figures reborn as creatures of power and mystery, each representing their ideals, inventions, and battles for the future. From the electric genius of Tesla to the soaring spirit of Earhart, from the smooth jazz of Armstrong to the cunning of Capone – every Titan brings unique abilities to your rhetorical battles.

Embark on a gorgeous journey through NYC's legendary landmarks, from the glittering lights of Times Square to the shadowy allure of Central Park under the moonlit haze of prohibition. Traverse the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, dive into the underground world of the subway system teeming with hidden gyms, and uncover forgotten treasures in the bustling markets of Harlem. Every encounter tells a story, every battle reshapes history, and every choice ripples through time.

⚡ Your Starter? Franklin D. Roosevelt. Begin your journey with a young, idealistic FDR—an evolving leader whose path mirrors your own. Will he become a beacon of hope or a force of disruption? That's up to you.

Beneath the glamor and grit of the 1920s lies a secret far older than New York itself. Your journey begins when you learn about The Crystalline Cube—an otherworldly artifact unearthed by the nascent CIA in the Nevada desert. This cube is the source of the strange energy that has transformed history's greatest minds into collectible Titans.

Unravel the Cube's Power

The Cube doesn't just grant power; it projects the purest essence of human achievement and struggle into physical forms. Every time a new Titan is born, a piece of the city's timeline twists, creating paradoxical opportunities and dangerous rifts in reality itself.

• Rival Factions: Battle against the Industrialists, who seek to weaponize the Cube for profit, and the Radicals, who aim to shatter it to restore the "true" timeline. Each faction offers unique rewards but demands difficult choices.
• Historical Dissonance: Discover clues hidden in the past, from Nikola Tesla's "Wardenclyffe Tower" plans to coded messages left by Amelia Earhart's last flight. Every mystery solved brings you closer to understanding the Cube's true origin.
• Temporal Paradox: The choices you make—the Titans you recruit and the factions you support—will ultimately decide whether the Cube is contained, destroyed, or fully unleashed, permanently rewriting the history of the 20th century.

"The Cube is not a weapon, but a mirror—it reflects our age's greatest desires. To control it is to control destiny itself." — Dr. Elias Vance, Lead CIA Researcher (1927 field notes)

We are committed to transparent development. Here is a look at our current milestones and future plans for FDR World.

• Phase I: Core Mechanics & Alpha Build

  In Progress

  Implementing the "Rhetoric Battle System," finalized starter Pal (FDR), and the Times Square and Central Park zones. Establishing core recruitment loop and balancing initial Titan abilities.

• Phase II: Kickstarter & Beta Access

  In Progress

  Focusing on polishing the Brooklyn Bridge and Harlem levels, adding 15 new Titans (including Al Capone and Houdini), planning to launch the final Kickstarter campaign to fund voice acting and cinematic art.

• Phase III: Full Launch & Content Drop 1

  Planned (Q4 2026)

  Full commercial release on PC/Steam. Post-launch update includes a new infinite challenge dungeon: the "Forbidden Forest" and 10 more Titans based on cinema and oil tycoons.

• Phase IV: The Bostonian Paradox DLC

  Planned (Q2 2028)

  Our first major DLC expansion set in Boston, featuring the addition of Harvard University as an explorable zone. The story will center on the legendary child prodigy William James Sidis and introduce Titans based on four key figures: Theodore Roosevelt (TR), Henry Cabot Lodge, Henry James, and William James. This expansion will delve into deeper themes of psychology and the complex journey of maturation.
