System Reclaim
A post-apocalyptic habit RPG for rebuilding your real life.
System Reclaim turns real-world habits, study, work, family time, recovery, and reflection into an industrial RPG progression system. Log daily actions, earn XP, rank up skills, build streaks, unlock buffs, and complete your Daily Protocol to gain access to Fallen Factories.
What it is
System Reclaim is a habit tracker built like a control panel and tuned like an RPG character sheet. Instead of treating habits as generic checkboxes, it maps real-world effort into operator stats, skills, streaks, certifications, buffs, debuffs, and system logs. The fantasy is industrial and post-apocalyptic, but the purpose is practical: help the user bring the real-life factory back online.
The longer arc is Fallen Factories, a factory-restoration companion game. System Reclaim is the daily protocol layer that earns access to that world through real effort. It is an early live prototype and evolving build, not a finished commercial game.
Eight reclaim categories
School / Study
Coursework, reading, research, formal learning.
Work / Career
Job tasks, professional output, on-the-clock progress.
Creative Projects
Writing, building, designing, side projects.
Household / Family
Relationships, household maintenance, time with people.
Spiritual Practice
Prayer, meditation, journaling, reflection practice.
Sleep / Recovery
Quality sleep, naps, recovery routines, rest discipline.
Skill Training / Certifications
Trade practice, deliberate skill development, cert prep, hands-on rehearsal.
Operator progression
Operator profiles use RPG-style core stats: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom / Will, and Charisma. Real habit logs and reflections award XP toward those stats and toward skills such as Athletics, Repair, Science, Hacking, Diagnostics, Speech, Survival, Medicine, and others.
The current system supports rank-ups, stat-ups, diagnostic feedback, certifications, and d20-style checks. Those checks combine the roll, ability modifier, skill rank, tool bonus, certification bonus, gear or buff effects, debuffs, and situational modifiers into a result. It is a grounded progression layer for the prototype, not a claim that the game systems are finished.
Class, loadout, and focus
Users can choose an operator archetype/class. Current classes include Millwright, Engineer, Technician, Scholar, Operator, Fabricator, Pathfinder, and Foreman.
The Loadout panel lets users choose active habit categories, set a daily habit target, choose class or archetype, and define a main reclaim focus. Emergency edits can reset affected streaks, so the system treats planning changes like real operational changes.
Daily Protocol unlocks Fallen Factories
The core loop is simple: complete the required number of habits, write the daily reflection, and the system marks the Daily Protocol complete. Fallen Factories access unlocks for that day.
The factory restoration fantasy is earned through real-world effort first.
Buffs, debuffs, and recovery
Consistency can unlock positive effects such as Operator Clearance. Missing too much time can create drift and other debuffs, but the design goal is recovery rather than shame.
Missed days are treated like system faults: diagnose what happened, recover the process, and bring the line back online.
