About
Enter ANEURISM IV, a sprawling metropolis where the proletariat works without question and the air is thick with decay. As a Spirit—a spectral entity on the verge of becoming flesh and bone—you stand at a crossroads. The city is yours to influence, disrupt, or simply observe. With no set goals or rules, how you engage with this world is entirely up to you.
From the hardworking Prole to the affluent Banker, each fate offers unique abilities, challenges, and ways to interact with the city and its inhabitants. Your choice defines your journey:
Align with the Cortex to stabilize and protect the city.
Join the Scumbags or Zealots to spread the Rot and sow chaos.
Remain Neutral and immerse yourself in daily life, working in factories or exploring the city.
An ever-present threat, the Rot visibly alters the city as it spreads. Roles like Liquidators and Scumbags are pivotal in either containing or exploiting this menace. If left unchecked, the Rot will consume everything, leading to the city's demise.
ANEURISM IV is a sandbox simulator first and foremost. The city reacts dynamically to player actions:
Take Down the City: Collaborate with others to bring about the city's downfall and witness its reset.
Protect the City: Work to maintain order and keep the Rot at bay.
Live Your Life: Engage in everyday activities or carve out a unique path—it's your choice.
Survival depends on your willingness to work. Earn credits by taking on various jobs—labour in factories, manage resources as a Prole, or manipulate finances as a Banker. These credits are your lifeline, allowing you to purchase necessities from shops, trade for valuable goods, or invest in property.
In ANEURISM IV, there are no rules dictating your actions. Every decision you make impacts the city and its inhabitants. Will you bring stability or chaos? The choice is yours.
Total Freedom: No imposed objectives. Play your way.
Dynamic Consequences: Every action influences the world around you.
Multiplayer Interaction: Invite friends to join your world—collaborate, compete, or coexist.
Survival Mechanics: Manage your nourishment and sanity in an oppressive, ever-changing environment.

I was expecting a fun multiplayer game with interesting survival mechanics and forced social interactions. Instead I got a glorified standalone Gmod DarkRP server.
The game is fun but it's pretty much ruined by griefers. People will just take your stuff with zero consequences, the only fun part is when you get to play as some high-action role like a cultist or a cop and that takes a long while grinding amnecytes in-game to play them, while at the same time people just take your things, no problem, trashing your hard work, giving you nothing in return, and get more amnecytes themselves. PLEASE add a limit to people who take other's things within a minute or two of another person dropping said item ( and of course, make sure anyone who's picking it up know that they'd be stealing ) and maybe add a toggleable 'dropped items are being donated' button in the inventory for those who want to drop bandages for their friends so that there's no 'stealing this item' timer
The devs hate the fans. DO NOT BUY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
Got bullied by cops into folding laundry for 3 hours. Excellent experience.
Absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with 0 admin support on public servers... 100% cannot recommend this game less.
good
I'm a good lil prole
Apologies but this is the only way I knew to reach enough people. Very big quantum leap in the future. The world will be changed forever. War will be an article in the museum
