Hello future space gardeners. We hope this reaches you in the dregs of summer. Do you like space dolphins? Seeing the cause and effects, consequences and aftermaths?

What does it mean to exist? How does a civilization progress? What lies at the end of this journey called life?

The Fermi Paradox doesn't have the answers, but as a space gardener - you'll get to poke around the universe and experiment 💙

how do you guide civilizations in our indie game?

every decision you make has an impact on synthesis, your "choice points" so-to-speak. if you don't have enough synthesis at certain moments, you might not get to shape the future in the way you want! 👾

thanks for checking our game out!

The Fermi Paradox @fermigame.bsky.social · Jul 4

you will have to pick and choose which civilizations to nurture in our choice-driven sci-fi narrative strategy game, The Fermi Paradox 👾

humans are an option... but are they better options than space dinos and dolphins? 🤔

Even a crab dreams of going to space 🚀

In our scifi game, the Rama are a species inspired by crustaceans. (And they have really cool space suits!)
