ALife

ALife is an observation game about mysterious beings that survive by consuming ore. You watch them walk, eat and grow across generations; you cannot control or upgrade them.

ALife generations

An ALife’s body color changes according to the ores it consumes. After consuming a lot of ore, it gives birth to offspring. Newborns have their own colors and personalities, and the family continues from parent to child and grandchild.

Watching the world

Select an ALife to follow, zoom in for a closer view or zoom out to see more of the world. An auto-camera can rotate the view. If you stop observing partway through a generation, the generation count you have watched resets.

Outfits and points

The number of offspring you witness becomes your score. You can spend points in a shop to unlock outfits, with more dress-up options becoming available as generations pass. Purchased outfits are worn by ALife from the next generation onward, allowing you to choose combinations for their new looks.

A slow-paced backdrop

ALife has soothing background music and can run as a backdrop while you study, work or go about your day. Since you do not need to control the ALife, you can focus on other tasks while watching them.
