Our take on Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out
The survival premise suggests constant crisis, but the playable structure is a sequence of short story episodes with automatic saving. Much of the experience rests on clan administration, advisor disputes, and consequences that may not appear for decades, rather than continuous dramatic escalation.
What is Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out?
Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out combines interactive fiction with turn-based strategy in a standalone survival storybook set in Glorantha.
Players guide a horse-riding clan through a world where gods are dying and humanity faces annihilation. The clan can explore, trade or raid neighbors, settle social and political disputes, improve pastures, make offerings, build altars, and visit the Otherworld. Decisions affect relationships, economics, religion, and clan policy, while advisors respond to choices and may disagree. More than 600 interactive scenes offer system-driven outcomes, with consequences that can emerge decades later. Episodes are short, automatic saving is included, and a saga records the clan’s history. A campaign can continue from Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind or begin anew.
