Sci-Fi Games

2 games available — play free, no download

Sci-fi games use a speculative setting to justify a speculative mechanic — time travel, space colonisation, robot labour — and then ask you to optimise it.

Setting as a ruleset

The best sci-fi games make the fiction load-bearing. A time loop is not a theme here, it is a reset mechanic. A robot army is not a skin, it is an automation system. When the setting explains the rules, the game teaches itself.
