CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW & IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS PROTOTYPE

If you are stuck high in the sky, "whisper" (hold right click) for 5 seconds twice to move to the island.

COMING SOON!!!

Introduction: 

You’re an android entrusted to incubate a colony of humans on an alien planet. In this Moebius-stylized 3rd-person, adventure sandbox, explore using flight and survive by adapting to local biomes. Shape their future: decimate prey using sonic attacks or cooperate by embracing local cycles.

Explore & Observe: 

Reconnect with Nature.

In your emergence into life as an android, you'll discover the beauty, brutality, and fragility of life. Through the discovery of unique parasitic and symbiotic relationships around the island, you'll learn to listen, give, and take in sustainable ways. Taking or giving too much food disrupts growth patterns in the environment for example. 

Interact & Adapt: 

Use principles of behavioral psychology.

Give: Sharing resources, discarding materials 

Take: Harvesting food, stealing 

Dominate: Communicate aggressively to show territory, instill fear, and hunt prey. Violence may be necessary but only for survival and sustenance. Being an overactive predator disrupts the equilibrium -making resources scarce and you a target.

Submit: Communicate gently to offer friendship, build relationships with herds over time, and risk being taken advantage of by predators unknown to you.

Play Your Way & Discover an Emotional Story:

A Steward of Your Environment.

Uncover your creator's intentions and your internal programming. Know that the organisms of the planet will hear you, remember you, and respond to your choices accordingly…

How will you lead the next generation of humans into the new world? Live as a steward of your environment, building emergent relationships with networks of flora and fauna; herbivores and carnivores. 

Follow the omnivore’s rule: to consume with humility. 

Or rule as an omnivore: consumer of all.
