Popping the Fermi Paradox

Popping the Fermi Paradox is an event-driven strategy game. The Universe is full of life, but every species remains confined to its homeworld due to mysterious "bubbles" that seem to isolate each planet.

You must keep your world's statistics in check by making choices during events that affect your world. Will you try to pop the Bubble, or will you opt to remain inside and avoid the risk?

After 5 events, you can no longer influence your Bubble, and you will see a recap screen showing the state of your world. However, you can always choose to keep playing with a different Bubble!

The game is still heavily under development, so expect some bugs and incomplete parts. We plan to integrate the lore directly into the game and add many more events and new mechanics!
