A story-rich idle game
The system is dark.
You are the spark.
Something ended here. The sun is cold, the planets are empty, and the only voice left is P.O.R.T.I.A., a caretaker intelligence who has kept the watch alone for longer than she can bear to say.
Reignite the star. Gather stardust. Coax nine worlds back toward life, growing Earth from barren rock to a world of billions, founding a colony on Mars, sending probes into the dark past Jupiter. Progress carries forward across stellar generations, each one a fresh start that remembers the last.
Your companion
You are not out here alone.
P.O.R.T.I.A. is not a cheerful assistant, and at launch she speaks for herself: key story beats are voiced by the two people who made the game. She comments on what you build, remembers what you lose, and gives up her story one transmission at a time.
She has been alone a very long time. Occasionally, when she thinks you are not paying attention, she lets something slip.
She loved solar storms. I remember that about her.

A solar system, not a spreadsheet
Nine worlds, each with its own systems and character, from industrial Mercury to the survey probes crawling out past Pluto.
-
Idle that respects your time
Play actively or leave it running. Come back to a report of everything she watched over while you were gone.
-
No microtransactions. Ever.
Nothing to pay to skip, no timers, no currency you can buy. You bought the game. That is the whole transaction.
-
A station full of secrets
A playable piano, a working harmonograph, sealed ciphers, real constellations, hidden songs, and a journal that slowly becomes a book.
The nursery
Wishlisting helps more than you would think.
It is the single biggest thing that decides whether Steam shows this game to anyone at launch. It costs nothing and takes one click.
