About this game

Chart the progess of Humanity through the ages, and guide their every discovery from the moment they kindle the first fire to the far future. Develop over 200 unique ideas across three different flavours of thought. Help your people to conquer or make peace with their enemies, explore and exploit the world, and develop projects to meet their needs.

Manage your tribe's choices to squeeze out more strength, or sit back and idle as your clan develop on their own. Advance as far as you can take your people, and then collect bonuses to improve future runs. Select varied challenges that change the way the game plays, and combine these challenges to create your own unique scenarios with big rewards.

Features:
- Over 200 historic ideas to develop, across 3 flavours of thought
- Dozens of exploration bonuses and synergies to unlock and exploit
- Permanently power up your civilisation with prestige mechanic upgrades
- Combine varied challenge conditions to create your own scenarios with powerful rewards
- Optional, out-of-the-way ads won't interrupt your experience
- A completely offline, single player experience
- All game content is accessible for free

Perfect and Simple. Seems strange at first, perhaps a little daunting, but it's incredibly simple once you read the help tabs. Satisfying idle game watching numbers get bigger. Optional ads double your research time (for a generous 4 hours I might add). I definitely see myself playing this for a long time. Must have for idle lovers.

This idle game is an odd one out, it's simplicity is at it's core and that's a good thing, the help menu explains it for the most part but you'll have to see your own cause and effect with different stats. Definitely try this out if you're wanting a more simple, uncluttered idle game, it's got some depth even if it looks bare bones. I'll definitely be playing more!

Lots of fun in the beginning, but late game quickly becomes a chore. The primary progression system of choosing and combining negative effects to complete challenges is fun in the beginning, but quickly becomes the only way to progress late game. It's a clever idea, but the particular effects of the challenges are just more annoying than fun. Really lost motivation to play.
