## What is Emergent?

Your planet is your canvas.

Sculpt a living world like clay. Raise mountains with a finger, flood the seas, and let rivers dig gold out of the rock. Where the water goes, life follows — and evolves to fit the world you made.

Other players' planets orbit alongside yours. Visit them. Chat with whoever's home. Send gold in an envelope that isn't anyone's until it's opened.

WHAT YOU DO
• Sculpt terrain in real time — one finger raises land, two fingers fly
• Seed life and watch it spread, species by species
• Mine gold. Every gram costs the world something.
• Fly satellites — 107 of them — that steer weather, growth, and fortune
• Gamble at the Cosmic Arcade: slots, blackjack, carts, snow tubes
• Top the leaderboard by wealth, or by how much life your world holds

Your world keeps living while you're away. Rivers flow, ore returns, and eleven planets wait in the dark.
