Read full descriptionHide full description
Genethics hires you as a temporal agent. Every contract is written live, just for you: its story, its characters, its artwork, its soundtrack. No other agent will ever play it. Your mission: travel into the past and steer history through impossible choices. Each contract drops you into a real era, from antiquity to the near future. Read the situation, talk to the people who lived it, then decide. Every card is a fork, and every choice ripples forward. There are no clean answers, only consequences you have to own. Build your reputation, earn credits, and equip artifacts that bend the odds in your favor. Trade them with other agents on the open market, reforge their powers, and climb the leaderboard. Will you protect the timeline, or rewrite it in your image? Genethics is free to start. Become a full agent to unlock the full archive of contracts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Genethics at none against Gleam's shown. Genethics also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
