—A strategy and simulation game set in a microworld. Build an organism from cells, automate biological processes, and fend off viral attacks. Explore the world, unlock mutations, and evolve into a predator, parasite, or herbivore. Survive, adapt, and grow
Bioneers
SteamCreate and combine different types of cells: muscle, skin, fat, bone, nerve, and more. Connect them into functional systems — respiratory, digestive, excretory, and so on. Your goal is to build a perfectly balanced organism capable of survival and development.

Viruses are dangerous enemies of your organism. Monitor threats, react in time, and produce leukocytes — your immune defenders. If tissues get infected, the organism could die!

To ensure all organs work in sync, connect them into a unified nervous network. From basic sensors to complex neuron clusters — every cell plays its part. Become the architect of your organism’s instincts and intelligence.
