Description

System requirements

Niche - a genetics survival game is a turn-based strategy game combined with simulation and roguelike elements. Shape your own species of animals based on real genetics. Keep your species alive against all odds, such as predators, climate change and spreading sickness.

Niche is for players who like thinking through every move and watching a species change from one generation to the next. You are not just steering one animal here, you are building a whole line: pairing your creatures, checking which genes got passed on, and noticing in time when the population is about to slip. The mood is calm but a little tense, as if nature is always about to throw another problem your way. What you'll like: - The first hours go into figuring out which traits help survival in a given climate and which ones just get in the way. - Genetics actually shapes the outcome: dominant and recessive genes and codominance work inside the game itself, not just in the descriptions. - Worlds and animals are generated fresh, so every run starts with new conditions and new questions. - Five climate zones, each with its own predators, prey and plants, give you a reason to come back and try a different evolutionary path. You can buy Niche - a genetics survival game as a Steam gift right here: send us your quick invite link, and we will add you as a friend and send the game to your account as a gift. Niche - a genetics survival game is a fresh blend of turn-based strategy and simulation combined with roguelike elements. Shape your own species of cat/fox/bear/dog-like animals based on real genetics. Keep your animals alive against all odds, such as hungry predators, climate change and spreading sickness. If your species goes extinct the game is lost and your evolution needs to start anew. Key Features: - Living, dynamic world to test your survival skills - Breeding system based on real genetics - Over 100 genes to shape your species - Procedurally generated worlds and animals - Five biomes featuring different predators, prey and flora to explore - Game mechanics inspired on population genetics Games/books that inspired us: - Spore - Don’t Starve - The Creatures Series - Warrior Cats Educational aspects: While playing Niche, the player is introduced to the scientific mechanics of genetics (featuring dominant-recessive, co-dominant inheritance, etc). The game also features the five pillars of population genetics (genetic drift, genetic flow, mutation, natural selection, sexual selection). All knowledge is interwoven with the game-mechanics. This creates the effect of learning by playing.
