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.

About

NEO

Features
Read full description

NEO is a free interactive horror story for iPhone and iPad. Elif has been missing for three days, and the campus clock froze at 17:34. Read, choose, survive: 285 scenes, 20 endings. You are Lika. The only one still looking for her. And the campus clock has been frozen at 17:34 for three days. NEO is a psychological thriller where every choice leaves a trace. This is not a forgiving adventure: force the wrong door and you die, make noise and you are seen, go down unprepared and you do not come back. โ€” THE STORY โ€” Do you go to Elif's apartment, follow her trail on campus, or visit her family? Three routes, one truth. The diary, the drawings on the wall, the box in the kitchen โ€” you have to put the pieces together yourself. โ€” CHOICES THAT ACTUALLY MATTER โ€” โ€ข 20 distinct endings and 27 ways to die โ€ข 285 scenes, 675 choice connections โ€ข Knowledge, Bond and Defiance stats reshape your ending โ€ข Return somewhere twice and you never read the same scene again โ€ข You can never pick an option referring to a clue you have not found โ€” AS THE THREAT RISES โ€” The more attention you draw, the more the system notices you. The interface begins to break down: scan lines, chromatic drift, trembling text. That is not decoration. That is a warning. โ€” LANGUAGES โ€” English, Turkish, German, French and Spanish. Switch instantly from the menu. โ€” A FAIR MODEL โ€” The game is completely free and playable from beginning to end. No forced ads, no banners, no energy timers. If a scene stumps you, you can optionally watch a rewarded ad to unlock a hint for that scene โ€” hints point the way, they never hand you the answer. You can also buy hint packs from the Signal Archive if you prefer. None of it gates the story. Autosave keeps your place. Die, and the loop restarts โ€” but this time you know one more thing. The clock stopped at 17:34. Do you want to know why?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Genethics at none against NEO's shown. Genethics also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
