Creatures Playground

Over a thousand years ago, the ancient civilisation of Shee left the world of Albia in a giant spaceship to find a new home. When the Grendels attacked them during the flight, they escaped to their new planet's surface, abandoning the Norns and their spaceship in orbit. But the Norns are not alone, and with your help they can thrive. You'll find a host of advanced machines to help you - all of which can be plugged together to make huge automated devices.

This is no ordinary game. By playing Creatures, you will be taking part in one of the largest Artificial Life experiments ever. Raise and train a troupe of cuddly virtual life creatures that live on the Capillata space ship and help them reach the level of advancement sufficient to fly it. This task is not easy, Norns are eager to learn but because they own individual personalities they may not always do what you want them to (or even what you expect!). Like a good parent you must be patient, teach them new things using many tools available and raise them the best you can so that after some time you could be proud of how much they have managed to achieve.

Creatures Docking Station is a free multiplayer add-on for the game Creatures 3. The game can also be played stand-alone with limited options and a downsized playworld. Like the previous games in the series, in Docking Station you breed Norns and raise them. You can teach them to talk, play, eat, avoid hazards and reproduce. Each Norn has its own set of genes which is passed on to its children. With this online version you can easily pass on your genes to Norns from all over the world and chat with other players.
