Well, aside from the question of why do we need to classify it at all, I believe that I would call it an eco-religio-sociological sandbox game.
The SF elements (the Karavan and possibly the gates) are not central, nor are the "magical" elements which might just be use of natural forces. Remember that on Silan we are told "all homins have the ability to generate an acid attack" and that we see creatures every day that have fire attacks, electrical attacks and poison attacks, not to mention reflective shields.
The central elements of the Lore are the ecology, religion, and civilization, but they are only occasionally important to our lives (just as in the real world). What is important is exploration, foraging and building.
It is clear that Atys was *made* (leaving aside the rival claims of Jena and Ma-Duk) since the motion of the celestial bodies cannot be described using orbital mechanics and therefore they are being held in position either by technological (jena) or mystical (Ma-Duk) forces.
-- eh, I call it addicting...

Phaedreas Tears - 15 years old and first(*) of true neutral guilds in Atys.
(*) This statement is contested, but we are certainly the longest lasting.
