Your plan. Their pandemic. Engineer a deadly strain, plot its evolution and release it into the world. Watch infections spread across the map as your creation breaks into new hosts. PATHOGENEER puts you in control of a fictional pathogen. Shape a branching genome, adapt to new environments and discover which hosts your strain can reach. A promising start can stall at a barrier. The right mutation can open another route. MAKE IT YOURS Choose genes that shape spread, survival, resistance and host jumping. Unlock new modifications through successful infections and build a strain with its own strengths and tradeoffs. CROSS THE HOST BARRIER Begin with plants and unlock insects, birds, land animals and humans. Explore different targets and habitats as your creation finds new ways to spread. CHOOSE YOUR GROUND ZERO Pick a starting location. Climate, habitat and host conditions affect whether your strain gains a foothold or struggles to establish itself. WATCH THE CASCADE Follow infection fronts across the map, switch host layers and zoom in on the action. Make decisions during a run as opportunities and barriers emerge. BUILD YOUR NEXT BREAKTHROUGH Keep memorable strains, carry successful genes into descendants and chase a stronger cascade. Open Threads suggest a next step for your lineage. Share your specimen, a standout spread or the stats from a run you are proud of. Where will your next creation take hold? PATHOGENEER is a fictional ecology strategy game inspired by real-world environments and habitats. Its organisms, mutations and outcomes are designed for entertainment, not real-world pathogen engineering.

Same empire, different ending. Whoever you start as, history splits from there. Rewrite World - Three Kingdoms is a turn-based strategy game set from the late Han dynasty to the founding of the Three Kingdoms. Choose a faction and a starting year, then manage its economy, armies and diplomacy on a map where each turn is one month. ■ Four starting points The Yellow Turban Rising (184), the eve of Guandu (200), the eve of Red Cliffs (208), and the eve of the Three Kingdoms (220). Each has its own balance of power, its own officers and its own objectives. Replay any of them as a different faction. ■ The map is your control panel Tap a province to manage it and drag armies to move them. For distant targets, plan a route and your army advances on its own each turn. Before you commit to an attack, a forecast shows both sides' strength and terrain bonuses. ■ Officers and the economy Recruit officers to lead armies and run provinces. Set taxes, raise troops, build and research to grow your realm, and keep an eye on population, manpower and unrest. ■ Diplomacy by conversation Negotiate alliances and treaties by talking directly with rival rulers. AI generates the dialogue, but the game rules decide whether a deal is struck. Persuasion alone cannot buy an alliance; relations and strength have to back it up. ■ Before you start · A fictional simulation inspired by history. Territories, strength and officer stats are game approximations and may differ from the historical record. · Diplomatic conversations need an internet connection, and the sentences you type are sent to outside providers for AI processing. · Game progress is stored only on your device and cannot be carried over to another device.
