Description
In My Father's Work, you'll take on the role of a competing mad scientist, tasked with completing your father's masterwork and earning the most points over three generations. You'll start with a page from your father's journal and a large estate to conduct your experiments, balancing study and active experimentation to get ahead. As you progress, you'll have the opportunity to upgrade your estate, aid the town, and complete experiments to earn points. But beware, your actions won't go unnoticed, and the townsfolk may turn against you, forming angry mobs or driving you to insanity. At the end of each generation, you'll pass on your knowledge and estate to your child, who will start anew, but with the benefits of your previous discoveries. The player with the most points at the end of three generations will be crowned the most revered and feared scientist, having successfully completed their father's work and surpassed their rivals.
