Steam Store description

In a universe driven by targets, a faceless corporation has employed you to create an evolving ecosystem you will never control. Intelligent Design: An Evolutionary Sandbox is a god game with fully simulated genetics and evolution. Create species of plants, herbivores and carnivores, release them into a world, and then find out what evolution does with them. Evolution isn’t just a mechanic. It’s a simulation. Every organism's behaviour comes out of its genes. How tall will a plant grow? How fast can a herbivore run? How often does a carnivore go looking for prey? Those genes pass down generation after generation with random mutations, and there is nothing underneath them but the simulation. No tricks, no statistical approximations, no scripted events waiting to fire. Leave a world running long enough and species will speciate, boom, crash and go extinct without you touching anything You will spend a lot of time watching... which is the point.
