Ten thousand years after the Quiet

Humanity went quiet. Who inherits the Earth?

One day the cities stopped answering. No war is recorded, no plague, no farewell: the old records call it the Quiet. Ten thousand years later the rivers have reclaimed the roads, forests stand in the ruins, and the Earth is full of minds that grew up in the silence.

Beavers engineer the floodplains. Crows keep courts and grudges. The machines humanity left running still tend their lanterns. And the sky is not empty: the Greys have come to study what is left, and the Anunna have returned, claiming they planted this garden in the first place. Somewhere, a last band of humans keeps a Vigil.

Every campaign asks one question: which civilization rules the world after us? It is decided on the hex map, by Domination, Science, Culture or Time, in 150 turns.

What it plays like

One settler to an empire in 150 turns

empire builder game

One settler to an empire in 150 turns. 25 technologies, 14 civics, 42 unit types, 40 buildings and wonders, six eras. Strategic resources gate unit lines; 30-turn leases trade them; a war tears the deals up. A campaign is a few sittings, not a season.

civilization game for android

A real Civ loop, phone-sized. Guided turns centre each unit awaiting orders; the gold advisor chip plays the move the AI would. Formal war, named leaders who sue for peace, rampart sieges, embarked fleets. Offline on the phone, forever.

Afterkind, in a browser and on a phone

Is Afterkind a hex strategy game like Civilization?

A turn-based 4X on a hex map: cities, research, civics, wonders, war and diplomacy against three AI rivals, with four ways to win. Phone-sized: a campaign is 150 turns and a few sittings.

Yes. The whole game, every era and every victory, is free in your browser and on your phone with three Kinds. The other Kinds are packs or earned in play.
