Signs of Life

Signs of Life: Biology Simulation Game for PC

Signs of Life is a biology simulation game where players guide a colony of extraterrestrial microorganisms in a petri dish environment. The goal is to help the organisms thrive by managing factors like temperature, nutrition, sunlight exposure, etc.

What is Signs of Life?

Signs of Life is a unique biology simulation game developed and published by EA Games in 2020. Players take on the role of an astrobiologist studying extraterrestrial microbial lifeforms.

At the start of the game, players receive a petri dish containing a small colony of unfamiliar single-celled organisms. Very little is known about these organisms other than that they require carbon, nitrogen, warmth, and moisture to survive.

It is up to the player to experiment with environmental conditions inside the petri dish to help the colony grow and thrive. This involves adjusting levels of light, heat, nutrients, and other stimuli to observe the effects on the organisms. Too much or too little of something can stunt colony growth or even prove fatal.

As the player learns more about the organisms' ideal living conditions, the colony will hopefully begin to rapidly multiply and exhibit new behaviors. Players can then attempt introducing different stressors like toxins and extreme temperatures to further test the adaptability of their colony.

The end goal is to nurture the largest, most resilient colony possible while also discovering as much as possible about the unique characteristics and evolutionary history of the organisms. Meticulous experimentation and keen observational skills are required to master Signs of Life's complex underlying simulation.
