What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We would like to invite players to test the game and provide feedback during the Early Access period. Hopefully the comments from players also motivate our developers so we can avoid endless procrastination.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hopefully the full game will be released before 2027, although the exact release date can vary depending on the schedule of the developer.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the full game, we plan to allow players to visit most organelles of an algal cell, including chloroplast, ER, Golgi, nucleus and flagella. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version allow players to explore the mitochondria and include the basic functionalities of the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“According to Steam, a good answer would be: "We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features." In practice, a free version will always be available, and players can decide to pay more to show their support.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

About This Game

Explore the Cell

Embark on an adventure inside an algal cell. Journey through its expansive microscopic world, uncover hundreds of proteins, solve puzzles, and perhaps discover why you find yourself within this cell in the first place.

Game Features

  • Immerse yourself in a hand crafted microscopic world built using experimental data from cryogenic electron microscopy/tomography, X-ray crystallography, and sequence based structure prediction. 

  • Solve puzzles designed based on mechanisms of biological processes to unlock hidden content. 

  • Experience a narrative-driven storyline that unfolds throughout your adventure, loosely inspired by real research projects.

  • Enjoy breathtaking visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, showcasing the intricate and crowded cellular environment at atomic resolution.

Current Stage of Development

A free Demo is available that allows the exploration inside the mitochondria matrix. More areas will be released soon (or slowly) depending on the developers’ level of procrastination.
