You are starting a new job at the Museum of Evolution. You will be required to set up exhibit rooms for various life forms (plants, animals, etc.), to illustrate their evolutionary path. Starting with a picture of a life form, navigate the tree of life and accumulate points. If you maintain a high enough score in a particular geological period, you may even get a medal. Medals improve your chances of getting some assistance from Charles Darwin.
- Play alone or with 3 nearby players
- Start with over 200 early life forms (originating in the Precambrian and the Paleozoic)
- Optionally add close to 500 Mesozoic life forms (requires In-App purchase), such as dinosaurs.
- Optionally add more than 650 Cenozoic life forms (requires In-App purchase), such as mammals.
- Ambiance sounds matching the geological period.
Common (and sometimes less common) life forms have been selected to provide the players with an overview of the major evolutionary branches of the tree of life and the associated geological time periods.
NOTE: the classification and evolution of life forms are active scientific fields, subject to constant modifications as new discoveries are being made and as some concepts become obsolete. Naturae is primarily a game and may not always reflect the current scientific view.
