Added "Apocalypse How" and "Ruins of the Modern Age" to Tropes List
* ApocalypseHow: ApocalypseHow/Class5 -- meteors have wiped out all forms of multicellular life, leaving [=HERA=] and the players with only amoebae and simple single-celled organisms as root stock to rebuild the animal kingdom.

* RuinsOfTheModernAge: The earliest levels take place just after the meteor swarms wipe out nearly all life on Earth, with the destroyed husks of skyscrapers, tilted streetlamps, and cracked pavement in the background. As players progress through further stages the ruins decay and eventually disappear, replaced by rocky hills and lush jungles.

Starting with amoebae and single-celled organisms, [=HERA=] and the players must decipher which combinations of creatures will recreate viable specimens of life on Earth.

Edited "All Myths Are True" for Clarity

* AllMythsAreTrue: A ZigZagged version, but [=HERA=] has players create griffins, pegasi, fairies, dragons, flying unicorns (or "pegacorns"), and phoenixes during the "Mythical Era," and create centaurs and mermaids during the "Human Era." If [=HERA=] has been programmed just to recreate all lifeforms that have existed on Earth (as she's already recreated dinosaurs and extinct ice-age megafauna), then those mythical creatures must have existed before [=HERA=] was programmed. Even if they didn't, having [=HERA=] create them makes them real for any future humans she recreates.

Edited Description, Edited "Hint System", Added "Meaningful Name" to Tropes List
A short video trailer for the game is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmjOFAwoJds available on youtube]].
Changed line(s) 18 (click to see context) from:
* HintSystem: Of the "Hint for Payment" variety. Successfully recreating creatures earns the player in-game currency that can be used to purchase hints about the "ancestors" of animals that have yet to be recreated. The hints include nigh-useless 50-coin "descriptions," 100-coin "habitat" hints, and 150-coin hints that plainly reveal the identity of a creature's ancestor.
