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?

Build a tower. Run it well. Hundred Stories is a tower-building simulation with hand-illustrated art, drawn in code. Start with a lobby and a little cash. Place offices, condos, hotel rooms, shops and restaurants, run elevators up through the floors, and keep the people inside happy enough to stay. A hundred stories is the height of a tower worth building. It is also what goes on inside one: the tenant on 40 who wants a quieter floor, the shop on 2 that counts on the lunch crowd, the hotel guest who missed the last express elevator and is not coming back. Every floor is a story. Everyone's got one. Your tower can fail Every room, price, elevator and stress rule is set up so a tower can fail. Tenants notice slow elevators, noisy neighbors and dirty rooms, and they leave. Set the rent per room, give each elevator car its own floors and riders, and answer the events that arrive: a fire, a bomb threat, a VIP guest who rates your suite, cockroaches in a dirty hotel room. Climb the star ladder Earn stars as the tower grows. Each star opens new rooms: security, housekeeping, sky lobbies and escalators, a cinema, a metro station, and at the top a cathedral. The tower can grow to one hundred floors. The free game has every room and event up to 3 stars, in a tower of up to 20 floors and 2 basements, which is enough to reach 3 stars. One in-app purchase unlocks the full tower, with stars 4 to 6, the metro station and the cathedral. Yours, and private There is no account and nothing is tracked. Your tower saves itself and is kept in iCloud, so it is there on your other Apple devices too. Touch, mouse or keyboard On a phone or tablet: one finger moves, pinch zooms, tap to place.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Process at none against Hundred Stories's 1. Hundred Stories's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
