Aeons
A procedurally generated planet of tiny people, from wandering tribes to a spacefaring civilisation — and you are the god watching.
Aeons generates a world and then lets it run: terrain, climate and oceans are built from scratch, tribes wander onto the land, settle, found nations, trade and go to war, and the whole thing advances era by era from the stone age toward spaceflight. Nothing is scripted — the history is whatever the simulation does, and the chronicle writes down what happened as it happens.
It is watched from orbit in a browser: the planet turns, you click anything on it to inspect a person, a city or a nation, and the panel on the left is the other half of the game — powers to intervene with, from shaping terrain and seeding life to storms, plagues and worse. Run it at speed, or stop and read what became of the people you made.
