Project Introduction

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

An original electronic ambient soundtrack 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?

About Developer

We are a team of indie game developers in Berlin, based at the Saftladen Game Collective. We work to make thought-provoking, inspiring and progressive games, and hope to offer a new take on the space sim genre. The Fermi Paradox is our first game together, but we’ve already made our fair share of video games. Our contributors have worked on titles such as Spec Ops: The Line, Kane & Lynch 2, The Captain is Dead, Dreadnought, Sea of Solitude, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Dishonored 2, Void Bastards, Assassin's Creed : Origins and Lost at Sea
