SimLife Overview
Alt. Names:
SimLife: Der genetische Spielplatz, SimLife: La Cour De Recreation Genetique, SimLife: The Genetic Playground
SimLife is a simulation game focused on ecosystem creation and management. Players design both plant and animal life, then observe their behaviors and interactions within the environment.
The core activity involves direct genetic manipulation, allowing for the creation of creatures with unusual or impossible traits. This includes editing DNA to induce mutations and designing animals with specific dietary needs or reproductive methods.
These designed organisms must then survive through processes like feeding, reproduction, and evolution. The simulation presents a challenging task of balancing these fictional lifeforms' needs within a functioning ecosystem.
