Glad to have been accepted in this year's Endless Replayability Festival!
Folk Emerging is indeed endlessly replayable and each playthrough is different because the map, characters, and stories are procedurally generated. It's replayable not just as a 4X strategy game (which is inherently replayable), but also due to its particular focus on characters, inter-generational processes, and realistic climate simulations, which create uniquely different and unpredictable conditions in every playthrough.

The textures are still placeholder, but better blending & coastlines have made the maps less hexy and more painterly.
