In this alternate reality, sci-fi simulation you must manage an egg farm in a reality bubble that has been opened on a branch in the probability tree for our universe. You must keep your chickens alive and well, gather and sell the eggs at a profit, purchase supplies, fend off sabotage attacks, and reach your profitability goal before the reality bubble collapses.

 

Author's Note: This game was supposed to be book one of a series of games set in the alternate universe of Heartha. However, reader/player response has indicated that the backstory and the entire premise for that universe was confusing and detracted from the game play. Consequently, while I think the game plays well if you ignore the backstory, I have decided to not create a sequel.

 

Play time is about one hour.
