An alternate-history engine builder where dice, gears, and lectures help you finish the first computer with Ada Lovelace.
Who it's for
Engine-building fans who enjoy dice rondel mechanics wrapped in a smart, underused historical premise.
Not for you if…
Skip it if you want a light or short game, since eighteen turns of engine building take real commitment.
Vibe's take
Methodical and satisfying: watching your blueprint fill with gears and programs makes every rondel spin feel like real progress.
Ada's Dream reimagines Ada Lovelace's vision of a working computer as an alternate-history engine-building game, where you draft dice, gears, and programs onto your blueprint to complete the first Analytical Engine.
