So it's a little unusual to find a survival game that starts you off with absolutely nothing except a time machine, which seems like it should be at the end of a very long tech tree instead of the beginning.

But that's what you get in the opening moments of Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival, and before long you'll be using that time machine to transport yourself through history from the age of dinosaurs to colonial times to modern day, and even deep into the future.

Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival is scheduled for a release next month, but the free demo that's part of Steam Next Fest gives you a little taste of both the survival crafting systems and the era-hopping adventure that awaits.
