A calming point & click simulator, with eye-catching visuals, and a relaxing soundtrack. The game play loop is calming, the customization diverse, with my only complaint being that I wish there were more things in the game (more animals, plants, and a bigger map.) I would highly recommend this game.

A wonderful, calm little game I clearly (after 177 hours) love very much. I don't know how to categorise Equilinox, really. It's sort of casual meets puzzle, meets Lego, meets management? Except none of those are stressful. This is one of those games I turn on if I'm stressed or very brain-tired after work. Pop a video, podcast or playlist on and just zone out while making a pretty little landscape for all of my lil guys. The core gameplay loop is this: You buy both animals and plants with a currency called DP. Every animal you plop onto the map earns you a certain amount of DP per minute, but in order to make sure the animals a) don't die and b) have kids to multiply your DP earned, you need to plop down certain plants. Grass, flowers, trees, lilypads - different animals like different things. There are also rocks and shells and stuff. If you fulfil certain criteria, you can evolve a new species from another - say, you place some herbs and flowers next to your oak tree. You can now make a sycamore tree! And look, that sycamore will spread another type of biome, which will help you evolve your little sheep into a deer! Hooray! Now if only I turn this daisy blue and evolve it into a tulip, we'd really be cooking... After a species has been evolved, it unlocks, and aside from getting one when you evolve, you can buy as many as you like with DP. There are also tasks to complete, which will earn you DP and unlock new things. These also act as the tutorial, walking you through on how to use the basic mechanics. And... That's it, really. You're just evolving things to get new things to evolve those things with, and getting enough DP to craft the landscape *you* want. I like putting a million huge flowers in the Grassland biome, or evolving my fish to be every colour under the sun and popping them all into the same Tropical ocean. Good stuff, man.

This game is super chill and relaxing. The music is incredible, and there's something very satisfying about building and maintaining habitats. I play this game when I'm stressed out or frustrated and it almost always makes me feel better.

equilinox is so satisfying until you hit endgame and entire biomes still feel empty. this game feels incomplete but it's never getting updated, so i can only half-heartedly recommend it. where're the pandas?? who's gonna eat all this bamboo???
