What it is

Techcycle Runner is a short platform game about moving through 25 years of technology cycles.

Players move through era labels, technology milestones, demand surges, hazards, score changes, and collectible technology themes across a stylised timeline.

What it explores

The runner format makes technology history feel active rather than abstract. Adoption cycles, milestones, and hype become something to move through rather than just read about.

Instead of explaining the timeline as a static essay, the project makes it navigable. The player has to move through the cycle rather than just read about it.

Current status
