Overview
Germline is a single-player idle growth game from EndlessDevs that starts with a single founder cell. From that humble beginning, you raise and collect 60 species — bees and sunflowers, wolves, tigers, octopuses — and guide each organism through four life stages: Founder, Developed, Juvenile and Adult. It is a casual, strategy-flavoured simulation that blends active play with idle and offline progress, currently available in Early Access.
Highlights
- Collect and raise 60 species, each progressing through four distinct life stages from Founder to Adult.
- Build a living machine: pulse the heart for energy, place organs and connect them to shape production, then research mutations and synergies.
- Five starter species are available at the outset, with more unlocked by raising new species to adulthood; reproduction opens further possibilities.
Who It's For
If you enjoy incremental games, creature collectors and automation management, Germline sits comfortably at that intersection. Players who like checking in, letting progress tick along offline, and returning to choose the next upgrade will find a lot to tinker with. The nature theme and organism-building loop give it a calmer pace than many economy sims.
