The Fermi Paradox is a choice-driven sci-fi narrative strategy game in which your decisions in one corner of the galaxy can upend entire civilizations in another. Guide species through millennia and help them explore the vastness of space, make contact and, perhaps, create harmony.

## About This Game
The Fermi Paradox is a choice-driven narrative strategy game in which you
‘ll guide alien civilizations that can thrive or simply survive through the
ages, picking up radio signals from distant stars and finally making contact
with one another by exploring the furthest corners of the galaxy.

* Galactic God game: Play as galactic gardener rather than a single faction, guiding up to 10 civilizations simultaneously
* Choice-driven gameplay: Every event presents three choices that change the course of history – every decision matters, and consequences ripple across millennia
* Many unique alien species: From nightmarish deep sea creatures to graceful sapient plant-beings, there are even strange hairless mammals called Humans
* 400 different civilization-development events: Each event tells its own story and provides new choices that impact the story of that civilization – be it apocalyptic floods, sexual revolutions or conscious interstellar warships
* Distinctive societies within starships and colonies: Life on a generation ship or on an unknown planet poses different challenges and special narrative events
* Original electronic ambient soundtrack: Music playfully follows the evolutionary steps of developing civilizations and their spiritual, technological, and energetic trajectories.
* Play again and again: Each play-through tells a different story and has its own ending. Will the people of that galaxy unite? Will they wipe out one another in a galactic war? Or will they perish, still alone, never really knowing that other alien life forms existed?

Become the galactic gardener!

Guide the fate of different planets, species and civilizations. Balance
technological progress, military aggression and resource waste so that alien
societies survive long enough to make contact with other species.

Choices matter

Alien societies grow and develop on their own – but you can alter the path of
their development during crucial moments of social upheaval. How will society
change when animals are domesticated, world wars break out or if civilizations
begin cloning their own people?

Foster multiple alien civilizations

Develop societies from the Stone Age to technological singularity and beyond.
How will they treat their own, and what will their beliefs be? What message
will their first radio waves sent out into the cosmos contain? What are their
intentions when travelling thousands of years by interstellar spaceships to
another star?

Write the galaxy ‘s story

Each play-through will become a unique interstellar saga. From the first
decision of which lifeforms will evolve into sapient species, there will be
numerous choices determining the history and values of that civilization –
from their views on sexuality and religion to their treatment of weaker
members of society.

Overcome the long distances of space

Multiple generations will live out their days on starships seeking other
habitable planets, while radio signals may echo unnoticed for millennia before
they reach anyone that might listen. Of course, the society that sent out a
signal may have already perished, and the starship answering their call might
arrive only to find alien ruins. Elsewhere, distant colonies may develop into
civilizations light-years ahead of the inhabitants of their home planet.

Keep the Balance

Each technological age brings its own challenges, from nuclear war to climate
catastrophe, to murderous artificial intelligence. Experience the fragility of
the universe, the dangers of military power and how peace might be wrought
amongst countless intersecting cultures across the galaxy.
