Silicon Evolution vs Northern Capital Energy

Start with a single 8-bit CPU. End up running a quantum supercomputer. Everything in between is up to you. Silicon Evolution is an idle game about building a computing empire across 8 technology eras. Buy hardware, invest in research, prestige to keep your gains, and come back to find your empire still ticking away while you were gone. The research tree has 122 nodes across 11 categories - power, cooling, networking, security, virtualization and more. Each node has 5 levels. It takes a while to work through all of it, and that's kind of the point. Once you hit the 32-bit era, you pick an architecture path that sticks for the rest of the run: - Overclocker: your cycle output goes up 60% and the Boost button lasts twice as long - Architect: knowledge generation goes up 80% and research gets 40% cheaper - Resilience: offline earnings jump 120% and your legacy hardware earns 3x as much Prestige resets your hardware but not your silicon shards, which permanently multiply what you earn. Each run is a bit faster than the last. After enough runs you can reset everything for a leaderboard time and try to beat yourself. Old hardware never disappears - it becomes legacy income that keeps paying out forever. No paywalls. No timers you can pay to skip. The only in-app purchase removes ads, and that's it.

You are the chief dispatcher of the Leningrad regional grid. Saint Petersburg — the Northern Capital — expects power 24/7. The infrastructure is aging. Every winter tests your decisions. NORTHERN CAPITAL ENERGY is a turn-based power grid simulator set in Saint Petersburg. Balance generation from 10 real power plants, maintain 20+ substations, and keep critical consumers — metro, hospitals, railways, water utilities — online no matter what. MANAGE REAL POWER STATIONS Leningrad NPP, Volkhovskaya HPP, Narvskaya HPP, and seven thermal plants. Each has its quirks: Volkhov swings with the seasons. Narva can be cut off by a diplomatic incident. Central CHP (built in 1897) wears down fast. A LIVING SAINT PETERSBURG Play on a hand-drawn map with the Neva river, drawbridges that open every night, ships sailing past the Hermitage, planes heading to Pulkovo, aurora over Lake Ladoga. Peter and Paul Fortress, the Admiralty, St. Isaac’s Cathedral — all where they belong. NAVIGATE IMPOSSIBLE TURNS Winter storms damage substations. Floods take Vasilyevsky offline for two turns. A presidential visit means Smolny must stay powered or you are fired. White Nights cut lighting demand in half. Every season rewrites the rules. ON-DEVICE AI EVENTS On iOS 26+, the on-device language model generates atmospheric flavor events: a cat climbs into a transformer, a Dostoevsky reading on the Field of Mars, pigeons nesting on transmission lines. Every playthrough feels different — and your data never leaves your device.
