You carefully shape an entire world from barren rock to living planet, guided by realistic systems.

What players say

Players call it a faithful free remake of Sim Earth from the 1990s. Many find it too easy, especially at high speed, and say it lacks depth beyond a few runs, though they enjoy the terraforming loop and watching civilizations grow.
