What it is

An idle game about rebuilding: assign your population to roles, run buildings and production, and research technologies on the way from a camp to the first generated electricity. It is an experiment, paired with the learning app REBOOT Academy.

What it does

  • A settlement that grows stage by stage, with its resources, population and goal always in view.
  • Research through a technology tree from Fire to the Generator: each technology explains what it is, why it matters, what it needs and what it unlocks. Seven of them, including Fire, Iron and Electricity, have science notes that cite their sources.
  • "Learn the science" opens the matching concept in REBOOT Academy when it is installed.
  • Offline progress while you are away, capped at eight hours. Nothing runs in the background.

REBOOT is free, with no in-app purchases and no ads.

Privacy

No account, no backend and no network access. The game works fully offline, and your save stays on your device. No analytics and no tracking.

About the science

Costs, rates and timings in the game are gameplay abstractions, not historical or physical data. The game simplifies real history and science. Technologies with science notes cite the sources they were checked against; the others say their notes have not been reviewed yet.
