A beautiful game with a wonderfully quirky soul 0
I’ve been playing computer game since I was six. I don’t know how many games I have played. More than I can remember anyway…..but I’ve never played anything like Darwinia.

arbayer2 Reviews: Darwinia (PC) 0
It's made by Introversion, one of the few development houses left in the industry with any integrity. Huh... kinda like Valve, which is why Introversion was saved from bankruptcy solely by its games being put up for sale on Steam, if you remember the headlines. Anyway, about the game ITSELF.You play as an assistant to the creator of a digital world known as Darwinia, fighting to eradicate a rampant virus which is killing the world's inhabitants, a bunch of adorable little sentient creatures call...
