Earth Gambit: Light

Earth Gambit: Light is a social adventure game with extraterrestrials, hidden identities, and tough choices. In this game, you will play as the Aliens, the Scientists, or the Extinctionists, who each have very different plans for Earth and the course of the Earthlings' science. Advance the science and share your research with other players, but who can you trust with these groundbreaking discoveries?

Time is limited, options even more so.

Draw one, play one, pass one, and keep one for the future (if there will be one).

Don't think too hard, it's not chess, it’s just the fate of Earth in your hands.

Can you make the right choice if there is no good choice at all?
