About This Demo

A path to follow. A world to discover.

New Science brings together the satisfaction of solving combination puzzles and the freedom of an open-ended discovery game.

Choose two or three cards and combine them. Every discovery becomes a new ingredient, opening up more things to try. Follow a chain of inventions, pursue an idea of your own, or take an unexpected result somewhere new.

Your journey, your way

Want a goal? Follow Targets to find the key discoveries that take you through each Age. Hints and research help when you get stuck.

Feeling curious? Turn off Target mode to see every card you own and experiment freely. Discoveries extend beyond the Age targets, and the game is not limited to a fixed list of objects.

Switch whenever you like. Both approaches use the same collection, and your discoveries and progress stay with you. You can explore freely while progressing through the Ages and keep discovering after you complete them.

Build an illustrated collection

Each discovery has its own illustrated card. Watch your collection grow from familiar ingredients into an expanding set of possibilities.

There is a free pack waiting every day too. Five cards, one of them from the age ahead, added straight to your collection.

Explore the first three Ages for free

The demo includes the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. Follow their Targets, experiment beyond them, and start building your own illustrated collection.

The full game extends the guided journey across 16 Ages, within a much larger world of discoveries and fresh challenges. Completing the Ages does not mean you have discovered everything.

No adverts or email registration. Just start discovering.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

New Science uses generative AI as a core part of the game experience. When you combine two cards to discover a new one, an AI model determines what that combination produces. Each discovered card is illustrated with a unique AI-generated image. This AI-powered system is what makes the game's open-ended discovery possible. Combinations are not limited to a fixed recipe list, so the game can surprise you in ways a traditionally authored game could not. We are proud of how we use AI here and consider it central to what makes New Science special.
