An invite-only civilization simulation accessed over SSH, where you set conditions and watch an independent world develop through genetics, disease, scarcity, birth, and death.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.
For
Simulation enthusiasts and experimental game designers
Worth noticing
Each allowed SSH key receives an independent world, with one real minute representing one in-world month.

Field notes

The project presents an SSH gateway that routes connections into a simulation-specific dashboard rather than a general-purpose shell. Its model tracks individual attributes such as age, fertility, cognition, health, and disease resistance, while the sample display exposes a world seed and basic settlement resources. The homepage states that each permitted key receives an independent world and that simulation time continues without an observer. It also describes the project as early in development.
