Creating a Universe

Welcome to the beginning of the universe! You are a being of light, and in front of you is a box that is also brimming with light, and it's about to burst. Around you is the infinite black void.

In this surreal interactive fiction game, you are the creator of your own universe, and you have power to create anything you want! Set it off with a big bang, and embark on an adventure with your choice of interacting with multiple universes, or creating yourself some friends to populate your universe. But with great power comes great responsibility; you must protect your fragile creation. From jealous foes to greedy foreign invaders, it is your duty to restore equilibrium to your universe against powerful opposing forces while causing the least amount of destruction possible.

With two completely different adventures full of crucial choices to make, how will you defend your beautiful creation from total destruction? Explore the cosmology of your own creation story as you set a moral example for the greater good of the universe.
