Steam Store description

For many years naturalists have been portraying the natural world, and now we can create a self-contained biological world. The organisms(style and movement) are generated by particular mathematical(trigonometric functions) codes, all based on points. This could be a new form of art. ×××××××××××××××××× Living in a drop of water. Flowing on the surface. I am no one. My galaxy in one drop. Life is so simple. But full of mystery. ×××××××××××××××××× Note: For best experience, play this game in a dark room, alone. I am adding more contents as an idle game with art style, just like some virtual installation artwork.
