GENERAL GAMEPLAY

Creatures Online is basically a wonderful sandbox, but still offers objectives and a story. Similar to a role-playing game, players can gain experience and levels advancing them through the story and also giving access to new environments, new toys, and new objects for improving Sphericus. With the game’s incredible genetic engineering tools, players are able to mix the colours, patterns, and physical characteristics of their Norns to achieve the most unlikely results.

The goal of the game, in the end, may be to manage to reconstitute all of the different variations of the Norn races, starting from the basic species. Each recreated race gains you a nice badge to add to your Facebook page, Coins, and even, occasionally, Golden Eggs.

NORNS

The Norns (Cyberlifogenis cutis) are small, cute and intelligent creatures that players will take care of throughout the entire adventure. They have a highly evolved artificial intelligence and an ultra-realistic genetic code that is close to that of Humans, allowing them to speak, learn, adapt, sleep, eat, and reproduce themselves. Behind their adorable appearance, the Norns are greatly complex and very realistic creatures: they have a real neural system, a genetic heritage they transmit to their descendants, and are comprised of over 150 realistically-simulated chemical elements.

Relatively independent creatures, Norns are also fragile enough that they need taking care of. They have to be fed in order to not disobey or even starve to death. Norns can also become ill, infected by the viruses or germs that are also part of the ecosystem. In this situation, players have to analyse what's wrong and give them the appropriate potion.

From the Norns’ birth to death, the player’s objective will be to have them live in a community, and especially to raise them and teach them, then to have them reproduce, in order to transmit what they know to their offspring.

CRITTERS

The Critters are small animals in the ecosystem, populating the game environments to liven up the Norns' lives, make them happier and relieve their boredom. They will be indispensable in the different worlds if you don't want to see your community of Norns die of boredom.
