About

Planet Chronicle

Read full description

One real second is one month in the game. The first humans appear on Earth's real continents and terrain. Tribes settle on real city sites such as Seoul, Cairo and Rome, and as nations grow they take the real name of their land. People are born, raise families, work and trade, and nations rise and fall. All of it is written into the chronicle on its own. Just watch, or step in now and then. ■ Civilizations that grow by themselves From the Stone Age through 52 technologies to endless future tech. Eras change, trade routes spread and cities grow. ■ From the street to the universe Spin and zoom the Earth with your fingers. Go seamlessly from streets where you can see buildings and people to the Solar System, the Milky Way and the observable universe. One day, settlements appear on the Moon, Mars and distant planets. ■ Be a god now and then Help civilizations with the Blessing of Plenty, Inspiration or the Birth of a Hero, or send trials such as drought, earthquakes and meteors. ■ A chronicle and its people The rise and fall of nations, the lives of great figures and major events are recorded with dates. You can also follow a person's record from birth to death. ■ Pick up where you left off Your world is saved on your device and keeps going when you come back. Plays without an internet connection. Available on phones and tablets in 10 languages. ■ Full Version The basic game is free. Buy the Full Version once to use the three locked powers, including Aliens and the Great Flood, without limits, and to remove the limit on save slots. You can use a locked power once a day even without the Full Version. Note: This is a fictional history played out on real terrain with real country and city names. It is not related to actual events.
