Spirit

Spirit is a casual ecosystem game where you shape an empty island by influencing the plants, animals and other elements that arrive. You can give species energy to help them thrive and reproduce, or take energy away so they wither, die or stop reproducing. Your choices shape the world, but the ecosystem can collapse if you fail to balance its creatures, plants and minerals.

Balance the food chain

Animals have different diets and need food to survive. For example, growing bushes can produce more berries to feed birds, but too many birds may strip the bushes bare and eventually starve. As new inhabitants arrive, you decide what the ecosystem can sustain, such as whether a small bird population can support carnivores or whether you need more food sources or space first.

You can energize the species you want to grow, while the game world responds and evolves. Left untended, an island will wither into an empty lump of land; under your guidance, it can grow into a large, vibrant ecosystem. Animal poop is also part of the game.

A growing world

New animals, plants and minerals occasionally appear near your island and can join its ecosystem. Land also grows randomly over time, creating and expanding islands. Day and night, changing weather and disasters affect spawning and animal behavior.

Game modes

Adventure Mode takes you through 9 missions, each with a specific objective and its own wacky challenges. Completing missions unlocks creatures, plants and minerals for Free Mode.

In Free Mode, you choose which unlocked creatures, plants and minerals to start with, then work toward creating a thriving island.
