About Atoms and Time
Star in your own paleontology documentary!
Atoms and Time is an evolution survival game with a strong scientific focus, powered by new technological advances in ecosystem simulation. Unlike other evolution simulators, Atoms and Time inserts you right into this world, filled with other species that adapt just as fast as you can. The story of your organism's survival is told in a simplified format inspired by games like Oregon Trail, skipping the wilderness-wandering and throwing you right into the highlights of your creature's life.
Advanced Evolution Prediction
Playing through one organism's lifetime is fast, but the road of evolution is a long and complex one. Atoms and Time does not ask the player to wait around for an interesting mutation to randomly appear in your simulation, or provide the player unrealistic creative tools for character creation. Instead, the algorithm of "auto-evo" calculates the selection pressures that affect your species, given the current environment and known laws of biology. As the player, you get to choose one of a few scientifically plausible pathways to pursue. After that, it's up to you to survive with the tools given to you by nature.
Alternatively, you can play Atoms and Time as a simulator, producing in seconds what other evolution simulators might take hours to accomplish. In addition, auto-evo allows the simulation to understand HOW a species is surviving, and why certain mutations were selected, providing a new window into the story of your simulated life.

I bought this game after I saw Mr.Thimato's devblogs about the game. I am really interested in evolution games, and this little indie game didn't disappoint at all, and I actually found it more fun (maybe interesting is the better term) than Thrive, but probably because I'm really not interested in cellular processes. My experience at the start was a bit frustrating, but when I understood how the game worked I had a good run and I'll try to describe it to you readers. I started as a small herbivore insect of the steppe. It was a demanding environment with very few sources of food and with an high amount of competition even between the other members of my species (who were so starved that sometimes preferred to cannibalize me instead of mating with me). Luckily, a special event saved my species from certain extinction, taking them in a new, green, continent: a lush prairie full of tasty plants that managed to let my species thrive even with the new competition of the new species that were starting to appear. Cannibalism wasn't a risk anymore, but the new, specialized, predators were. Because of that, I decided to start developing a poisonus sting and other defensive measures to…2 found this helpful
The game got boring quickly and it isn't updated alot1 found this helpful
Very fun, but seems like the AI can get headshots 90% of the time if they aren't your species, don't know whats up about that...1 found this helpful
Its like a dynamic evolution visual novel. Before it was on steam it wasn't as easy to play as this. But now with the addition of difficulty modes i can comfortably recommend it :D1 found this helpful
I have been really enjoying this game, and I recommend it!1 found this helpful
interesting game, but there should be an option to repeat some actions until done and also confirmation before going into an obvious combat encounter. if you run away successfully, the encounter ends instantly and then you can accidentally click back into the encounter and get instant killed. reducing mindless clicks or having confirmations can help reduce pain from dying like that. also i know its probably a bit common in real life, but most of my mates just eat me as if they want me to be exterminated from the gene pool.
