Evolution

Evolution is an early experiment in simulating progress, and it wears its ambition proudly. The game attempts to model development and change over time, often in abstract ways that leave plenty of room for interpretation. It’s not always clear what you’re supposed to do, which can be frustrating, but also strangely compelling. Success feels earned through observation rather than instruction. The humor comes from its earnestness: it clearly wants to be profound, even when the mechanics struggle to keep up with the idea. Despite its rough edges, it’s fascinating as a historical artifact, showing how early designers grappled with big concepts using very limited tools.
