About This Game

Build Your Research Career

Research Journey is an idle simulation game about building a long-term academic career. Start as a young researcher, read academic papers, gain inspiration, develop research abilities, conduct research, and turn your results into published papers.

Read and Discover

Read papers to gain inspiration and discover new research opportunities. Different ideas and research assets can open different possibilities for your future work.

Conduct Research

Combine inspiration, research abilities, equipment, and other available resources to carry out research. Choose how to use valuable assets and decide which research directions are worth pursuing.

Write and Publish

Use your accumulated ideas and research results to construct manuscripts for different journals. Complete your paper, submit it, and gradually build a record of published research.

Progress Over Time

Research Journey is designed around long-term planning rather than constant clicking. Make your decisions, let time carry out your work, and return to new results and new choices as your academic career develops.
