10 itemsAbout the Game
Once Upon The Universe is a new take on a classic god-game formula, taking you to the very VERY beginning of creation. You begin the game just after the big bang, with nothing but an empty space and a lot of super hot hydrogen in the entire universe. The little beings that might later occupy some of that space might not be initially aware of your presence - make sure they know who do they owe all of that wonderous creation.
Make the Universe yours:
Shape the universe from the very beginning
Use the gravity and other "anomalies" to directly (and in-directly) form stellar objects from available matter
Stabilize and optimize orbit, rise water level and create biosphere to allow life to take its very first breath
Support and intervene within the civilizations affairs, as they take their place among the starts
Make the civilizations aware of your presence - the Creator
