About This Game

Experiment. Observe. Collect.

Prepare a run on the laptop, choose a crystal type, and set the starting conditions. As it grows, read the reactor's state, respond to warnings, and compare recent settings. Every decision affects the appearance and evaluation of the finished specimen.

Contracts give each experiment a clear goal, while free experiments let you test your own ideas. At the end, review the report and growth history. Keep your crystal in the collection, display it in the case, or sell it.
