Creatures Docking Station
Set the Norns free!
Hatch your very own virtual life forms in this incredible addition to the hit Creatures series. Norns are endearing little creatures who grow, learn and behave just like real living animals.
Norns think and act for themselves and display real feelings such as hunger, pain, fear and boredom. They can even talk to you and to each other! Based on real biological principles, these furry little pets have their own biochemistry and Creatures digital DNA and represent one of the most advanced virtual life sims commercially available today.
Creatures Docking Station is a fully self-contained world with four large rooms and contains all you need to raise and train families of Norns. There are food sources, toys and loads of plants and animals in a working eco-system.
Disclaimer: The online features of Creatures Docking Station are no longer available.
- Hatch any number of Norns from 7 different breeds at any time. Each creature is completely unique with its own personality.
- The Norns in Creatures titles have digital DNA, so they can inherit characteristics from their digital ancestors and pass them on to their offspring.
- Expand your game with a huge number of fan-created additions such as new rooms, toys or breeds!
- Interact with your Norns and the ecosystem in a variety of ways and observe emergent behavior in action!

It's very interesting for a child with interest in science. I used to play it as a kid. It's adorable because the creatures are always learning and growing like real children, so any children with an interest in babysitting might like it. Overall it's a fun buy and beats any other game that has some sort of child rearing in it.

i wish this was released on steam over 13 years ago when little child me was trying to figure out how to get this game to work 💕 i have had such fantastic memories with this game ever since it was brought over here but especially with the new community of fantastic people ive met! i wish creatures 2 was this stable 💔
it's incredible just how much you can modify this game and the amount of love that was poured both from the previous developers 2 decades ago to ensure that this game could be customized with many different mods as well as the current people in charge that have made it accessible to the many others who have never got to experience this series 💖
i try to recommend this game to every one of my close friends, i incredibly enjoy observing and taking care of these little creatures as well as doing morbidly curious things with them, with the help of the welcoming small group of people who still help newcomers i have transformed this game into something completely different. i am obsessed with it
please give creatures a try, it pains me tremendously how we haven't had anything close enough to this genre to have come out in the recent years, it is a life changing, unique experience

Loved this game when it came out - been playing from version 1. No other game does genetics this deeply. Thanks for bringing it to Steam!

Childhood classic for me. Always find myself firing it up every few years. There is such an insanely complex system within this game. They have all sorts of "genes" you can manipulate. Lots of neat gadgets to setup around the big ship. Mods arent a must, but very simple and make the game much more playable. Example, some of the original creatures can be a bit dumb and get stuck on how much they enjoy pressing the elevator button.
You can breed all 3 creature types together and make some crazy combinations.
*Wolfling runs* as people call them are mostly just letting a few eggs hatch and walking away or watching events unfold. You can come back a few days later and have some wild looking critters who say all sorts of wild stuff. They can be taught manually by you and I always felt like with modern AI potential, that a game like this would be so crazy fun. Creatures 3 feels. Kinda unfinished. Like they made the docking station and meant to do expansions but never did. Lots of gadgets have the potential to do lots of neat things, but nothing really comes of them in the end.
For me 10/10 game because of its uniqueness in gaming.
For newbies 8/10 for uniqueness and style the minus 2 will come from old controls and a lack of overall depth or tutorials to the game.
