About Once Upon The Universe

Once Upon The Universe is a god-game that takes you to the VERY beginning of creation. You begin the game just seconds after the big bang, with nothing but an empty space and a lot of super hot hydrogen in the entire universe. Fill the universe with life and watch it thrive - or destory it.

✦ AI summary

Once Upon The Universe is praised by players as an ambitious and well-made god-sim that effectively scratches the itch for games where you control civilizations and interact with planetary systems, with particular appreciation for its engaging civilization system and the developer's frequent, meaningful updates. Common complaints center around occasional repetitiveness and missing features like automated empire expansion and terraforming, though players generally view these as expected for an early access title.

Wow this is a cool game. I got to say it is in fact very fun and well made, obviously like any game its not going to be perfect, there will be bugs and i'm not going say just good things about it. it can be slightly Mind numbing some times but thars only sometimes. But i think with how Ambitious this project is, it has been Very well thought out and well made. the civilization system is very intresting and how they can become aware of your existance and how they can develep. 10/10 would recomend to those who have love god-like games where you get control over the world around these civilization and occasinaly influence or interact with them. though my only wish is for them to automaticaly chose to expand their empire via colonization or possibly terraform planets. but over all its a great game. :) (Sorry for my lackluster spelling)

this has so much potential and is already pretty entertaining and worth the 15 dollars i think,,, there's definitely still a lot of stuff missing and a lot that can be improved but i guess that's expected from an early access game ,, 8/10 i have been craving something like this for a long time

Fun little-ish game at the moment, developer is actively & frequently updating and fleshing it out. For me I like a lightweight game I can half play while multitasking. I look forward to future updates +1

The game gets more complex and better with every update, and the updates come very frequently. You can really feel the developer's passion, and I'm really excited to see where this journey will take us next.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
