Realise the fragility of the universe, the dangers of military power, and how to define peace for many intersecting cultures across the galaxy in The Fermi Paradox

With your critical voice, you shall guide the galaxy’s path, forging a history and future for each planet, starship, civilisation, and species with the choices you make. With hundreds of unique story events featuring thousands of choices, you wield the ink that will write the story of the galaxy. Will you encourage the first inter-species contact, help ignite a sexual revolution, or push civilisations towards a devastating galactic war? Carve a unique interstellar saga with each playthrough, and be the one to write the unwritten tale of the universe.

Wrapped in beautiful, passionately-crafted artwork and UI, with stunning sci-fi visual design and a haunting, atmospheric original soundtrack, The Fermi Paradox brings the “god game” genre to a galactic scale, where strategy and thoughtful decision-making is key to crafting a narrative where anything is possible. Evolution, extinction, first contact, lost resources, great wars, civilisational development, the breakdown of religion, technological progress, united colonies, complete and utter catastrophe. Yours is the hand that will guide the galaxy, choose wisely.

Developer Anomaly Games announced that The Fermi Paradox is now available through Steam Early Access for $18.99 (with a 10% launch week discount), and will remain so for about a year.

“The version of “The Fermi Paradox” that will be releasing in Early Access is still absolutely a full, and fulfilling, video game experience. Throughout Early Access, leading up to the full release, we will simply be expanding and improving on that experience to make it even more fun and engrossing to play.

We have been developing this version of the game since 2016 and so have a stable and polished core version of the game ready, that is fun to play and can keep you occupied for hours. We don't have any placeholder graphics or dummy texts in the game, but some artwork and story events may change during the Early Access phase.

There are already 12 different alien species to evolve, We wrote around 300 different narrative events and you can explore 10 technological ages with your civilizations. Multiple playthroughs will play differently but some text can repeat themselves a bit. In the Early Access version the meta game where you can unlock new planets and characters is not implemented yet. The overall quality of the game is good but there is the possibility of encountering a bug, typo, or a smaller balancing issue.”

“The full version has around 30 different species to choose from and we aim to have 5-10 hours full of unique gameplay per playthrough. There will be multiple endings to reach, new technological ages, unlockable planets with new species and a far bigger variety of narrative events than in the early access version.”

Key Features

• 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.
• 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?

The Fermi Paradox is coming to PC (Steam) in 2022.
