The Universe Tuner
Six dials hold reality together. Nudge gravity, dark energy, the nuclear force — and watch stars fail to ignite, galaxies collapse, or, just sometimes, a universe wake up and wonder why it exists at all. That is the anthropic principle, made playable. Then share the one you made.
