About Cradles
Cradles: Origin Of Species begins in prehistoric times. A blockchain game, Cradles allows real-world time and space rules to mesh in a game for the first time with the introduction of the time and entropy system. Cradles adopt a dual token economic model that combines traditional money with a cryptocurrency design.
Our verdict
Cradles: Origin Of Species is an Ethereum-based game set in a prehistoric world, built around a design idea its makers call a time and entropy system — an attempt to make in-game objects and environments change according to elapsed real-world time rather than sitting static until a player interacts with them. On top of that sits a dual-token economy that pairs a conventional in-game currency with a cryptocurrency component.
The concept is the interesting part: decay and passage of time as a persistent world mechanic is a genuinely uncommon pitch, and it gives the project an identity beyond the usual token-first blockchain title. The dual-token structure also suggests the developers wanted to separate everyday play spending from speculative value, which is a more considered approach than a single-token free-for-all.
What we cannot tell you is how any of it plays. No genre, developer, or gameplay specifics are on record here, so the loop, the pacing, and whether the entropy system meaningfully affects decisions are all unverified. Anyone judging it should treat the concept as a stated ambition, not a delivered feature.
This one is for readers who follow experimental blockchain-game design and token models, and who are comfortable checking the official site at cradles.io before committing time or money.
