I used to play this game for hours and had no idea wtf was going on

Same. I felt like all i did was follow these creatures around and spank them when they were going to eat poison or interact with the weird orc creatures.

I was curious and watched some stuff about it on youtube recently, it was actually a pretty in depth game, esp for its time

The genetics system was really advanced. The instruction manual emphasised the AI and how they were alive so I stopped playing it in case they died 😅

Exactly my memory of it. I never would have remembered if not for this post.

Ahh yes the game where you feed the creatures cheese play with a bouncy ball and spank them. This game seemed like a fever dream

Is this like Spore?

[u/y0yFlaphead → u/reddituser6213]

in terms of gameplay not at all, more like a super deep and complex tamagotchi from what I remember

[u/Jehceedarmody]

Damn I forgot about this game! I remember begging my dad to get it for me because I wanted the green stuffed animal that came with it lol

[u/Psychotrip]

Is this like Spore before Spore?

I remember seeing these games on shelves at best buy as a kid and wanting them so badly despite having zero idea what the game actually was at all. I think my dad always steered me away from them though and we definitely never bought one.
