Don’t Play God is a high‑fidelity evolution sandbox powered by real neuroevolution (NEAT). Run your own genetic lab: paint food and hazards, shape terrain and climate, freeze or unfreeze evolution, and fast‑forward centuries in seconds. Every creature’s brain is fully inspectable—every neuron, synapse weight, and bias—and every lineage you save lives in your Gene Bank. Deploy your best species across the world’s regions, adapt to new conditions, and keep pushing your line forward. Then take them online to see how your evolution stacks up against other players. No scripts, no endings—natural selection decides. You set the rules; evolution writes the story. You set the rules; evolution writes the story.Deploy your best species across the world’s regions, adapt to new conditions, and keep pushing your line forward.

The Process

THE PROCESS — Welcome to the Ethereal Foundry. Build a steam-and-steel factory, wire your stations together, and watch it produce. But growth never stops here: as your system wears down, REBOOT it for a permanent multiplier — and grow faster next cycle. HOW TO PLAY • Start with the Boiler (input), route it through a Refinery, deliver it to the Emitter (output). • Unlock advanced stations as you progress: Furnace, Converter, Amplifier, Transmuter. • Use Coolant to slow degradation, and place stations smartly to trigger resonance and chain bonuses. A SYSTEM THAT DEEPENS • Blueprint Tree: spend points earned from every reboot on permanent perks. • Ascension: reset your factory a second time for Aether — a passive multiplier plus the exclusive "Aether Conduit" station. • Daily Contracts + Shift Streak: fresh goals every day, rewards for showing up. • Weekly Trial: build a mini factory and compete on the global leaderboard. MAKE IT YOURS Earn pipe color palettes and node skins to give your factory a signature look — never for sale, only earned by playing. FAIR AND TRANSPARENT Ads never play themselves. When you choose to watch one, you'll always see exactly what you're getting first. Your progress saves to the cloud automatically, so it survives a device switch. An idle/incremental factory game for players who love both hands-on tinkering and watching things grow in the background. The steam never stops. Is your factory ready?
