ALife
SteamObserve the World of ALife
Meet the ALife; mysterious, charming beings who survive by consuming ore. Let’s watch their endearing yet sometimes frustrating lives unfold. Their body colors change based on the ores they consume. When an ALife consumes a lot of ores, it gives birth to offspring. What colors and personalities will the newborns have?

Play Without Playing
You cannot control or upgrade ALife. All you can do is observe and watch over them. They walk, eat, and grow. From parent to child, and from child to grandchild. Observe the lives of ALife as they span across generations.

How to Observe
Find an ALife you like and click on it. You can zoom in to observe up close or zoom out to see the bigger picture. With the auto-camera feature, the view will rotate automatically. The more you watch, the more you may discover about the lives of ALife.

Dress-Up
The number of ALife offspring you witness directly translates to your score. Use your points in the shop to unlock new outfits for them. As generations pass, new dress-up options become available. The outfits you purchase will be worn by ALife from the next generation onward. Find your favorite combinations and enjoy their new looks.

Different Ways to Enjoy
Relax in a slow-paced world with soothing BGM. Perfect for studying, working, or as a backdrop to your daily life. Supports both windowed and fullscreen modes. Since you don’t need to control anything, you can stay focused on your own tasks. However, if you stop observing midway, the generation count you’ve watched so far will reset. The more you cherish ALife, the more it may boost your concentration.

*macOS support is coming soon.
