Or at least, that’s what you’re told by your bosses at EON Corp. It’s all in the name of producing and supplying miracle medications to a distant, post-apocalyptic Earth. You can apparently crossbreed local animals, too – they’ll do it all by themselves if left to their own devices, the saucy devils. You’ll gather and splice them together using a trowel and cutting scissors, which makes the game feel quite homely for all its sci-fi setting. ![]() You’ll be able to crossbreed the flora, from berry trees to fungus, producing new varieties. But if it doesn't let you go on a rampage, it does let you play God.

Plants include spiral trees, giant Brussel sproutalikes, and amantus flowers with dangling red petals. There’s also a sort of hench, shaggy unicorn creature that is apparently harmless providing you don't cross its turf. ![]() There are quadrupeds with long, arched tails that look like a blend of goat and meerkat – going by the footage, they’re prone to mimicking your behaviour.
