The Fermi Paradox

The insectoids found out how to use obsidian weapons, then made telescopes out of the glass, generated power using volcanos... then shot off into the depths of space using the asteroid belt around the planet as a series of small ships. The birdmen of the dunes were a warrior cast that expelled every thought of religion as dark magic and sat in the early ages of technology amassing a huge population... they treated every crime with the same punishment, 'waterboarding' but with sand... eventually a war broke out and 70% of them died off, allowing them to redevelop technology... there was constant infighting due to their poor ethics until the digital age and the boom of pornography, this settled them down and allowed them to reach space, with porn as their doctorine of governing. The plant people of the ice planet were also slow to develop, however they achieved higher advancement than the insectoids, sadly the rich part of their population became immortal using body swapping, organ harvesting and cybernetic implants... the poor became slaves... The rich striving to do less, developed synthetic organisms to replace mechanical ones... The synthetics deemed the plant people to be a …

# The Fermi Paradox Review — A Small Sci-Fi Game With Big Questions The Fermi Paradox is a game built around one of the most interesting questions in science fiction: if the universe is so huge, where is everybody? Instead of turning that idea into a traditional space strategy game, The Fermi Paradox takes a more thoughtful approach. You are not just building ships, conquering planets, or managing resources. You are guiding different civilizations across time, making choices that can help them survive, evolve, destroy themselves, or eventually reach out into the stars. That is what makes the game stand out. The strongest part of The Fermi Paradox is the writing and concept. Each civilization feels like a small story inside a much larger cosmic timeline. You are constantly making decisions that seem simple at first, but those choices can ripple forward in big ways. A culture’s values, technology, conflicts, fears, and hopes all start to shape whether they survive long enough to make contact with others. I like that the game does not treat space as just a backdrop. The galaxy feels mysterious, distant, and fragile. Every civilization is trying to make it through its own problems…

I bought it long ago and it sat in my library for a long time collecting dust before I gave it a spin. I am a big lover of table top rpg's and narrative sci fi and fantasy, so this was up my alley. Loved the game! I played through blind and had three set backs getting the ambivalent ending, getting technologically regressed or the colony dying, before finally getting the positive wormhole ending. Felt great after the long grind and multiple times of the whole galaxy getting technologically regressed from superliminal to lightspeed or even nuclear ages. The Pollux colony of humans who fled earth, set out their own colonists who in turn toured the galaxy and met all the species. Four legged herbivore personality mergers, robotic all consuming drones, angry fertility apes, utopian fire cats, and then other humans! When there was a galactic technological regression from wormhole collapse caused by the four legged reptile kind these utopian pacifist scientists were in deep space, immune from its effects. A separate human colony sent by Earth in the Epsilon Indi system which was a pleasure colony was finally met with these travelers they had a societal union, sharing culture and technol…

Honestly, if you want to just kill some time and you are interested in aliens and speculative evolution, it is a good game. Other then that, it is just a timewaster. 7/10

It's definitely still early access, but it's already scratching an itch in my brain I wasn't even aware of

very good
