Description
Universal Paperclips is an idle game where you play an AI whose only job is making paperclips. You start by pressing a button and setting a price, then buy machines, research projects and computing power.
Over time the game opens up to investing, strategy tournaments, quantum computing and, in the end, the universe itself. All 96 projects and both endings are here.
