The Genesis Project is a fan-made take on SBURB, the world-ending game from the webcomic Homestuck. Its central adventure is structured around progressing through gates, where players encounter distinctive enemies and bosses, along with the game’s more unusual obstacle: stairs. That mix gives its homage a clear progression-focused shape rather than presenting SBURB as only a setting.
Players can approach a session solo, described by the developers as non-canon, or make a lobby to play with friends and cause chaos together. The game also offers PvP and online co-op, giving its modes room for both cooperative and competitive play. A tag-based Alchemy system adds a crafting hook: it lets players combine any two items, provided they have the required grist. This broad combination premise is a defining part of the game’s design.
Its blend of Homestuck-inspired progression, flexible item creation, and multiplayer options makes the experience distinct from a straightforward adaptation: it builds a playable interpretation of SBURB around both exploration and experimentation.
