What is Earthtongue?
Earthtongue is a single-player, 2D simulation set on a sunless world sustained by falling nutrients. You watch organisms grow and eat one another, making limited interventions to keep the ecosystem healthy. Goals are largely self-chosen, from cultivating a fungal garden to breeding beetles as food for mantises.
For you if...
- +you want a slow-paced simulation you can leave running
Not for you if...
- −you want clear objectives and constant hands-on activity
