Life Cycle is an endless evolution game for iPhone and iPad. You begin as a spark, a single cell in a primordial ocean: you grow by choosing, you die, and you begin again… and the world remembers what you did. EVERY ENCOUNTER IS A CHOICE Every being you meet offers four paths: devour it, repel it, let it pass… or observe it. Each option tells you what it feeds, and your imprint changes on the spot. That imprint shapes the world: before everything changes, an omen tells you why. EVOLUTION WITH A BODY OF ITS OWN When you mature, your nucleus splits and you choose what you become. Every form plays differently: the Colony fuses with what it observes, the Predator lunges, the Symbiont travels with companions, the Armored endures, the Wanderer rides the currents and the Filter eats without touching. In every stratum your body grows new anatomy —fins, tentacles, legs, antennae, shells— as you descend deeper, where yesterday's giant is today's prey. AN OCEAN THAT REMEMBERS To die is to begin again, but the ocean doesn't forget: what you devour grows scarce and what you respect thrives. In the stratum where you died, your past life is waiting: observe it to remember what you were, or devour it and carry the weight. The realm you come from colors your rebirth. 18 BEINGS AND A LIVING BESTIARY Jellyfish with luminous lures, needle-spined radiolarians, blind arthropods, fire crabs… Meeting them tells you their name; tasting them, what they're made of; only observing them tells you what they are. Every entry keeps their size, energy, defense and risk. SIX REALMS, THREE POISONS Inspired by the Bhavachakra, the Tibetan Buddhist wheel of life. Attachment, aversion and ignorance turn the wheel, and your imprint decides which of six realms you are reborn into: devas, asuras, humans, animals, pretas or hells. And perhaps, if you learn to let go, the wheel will stop for a moment. AN INTENTION FOR EVERY LIFE There is no victory, but every life offers you a purpose: descend to the Trench, taste a being you don't know, observe five times, end with almost no imprint. Fulfill it and you'll be reborn with one more seed.
