Equilinox

description Equilinox Overview

Equilinox is an indie nature simulation and sandbox game released in 2018 by solo developer ThinMatrix, who documented the game's creation on YouTube. Players are tasked with cultivating procedurally generated ecosystems by placing plants, animals, and resources to create a balanced environment. The game features a genetic evolution system, allowing players to selectively breed and evolve species to adapt to changing conditions. Designed for fans of casual management games, it focuses on relaxation and creative world-building rather than strict objective-based challenges.

help Equilinox FAQ

How do you create an ecosystem in Equilinox?

You place plants and animals into a world and then meet each species' habitat, resource, and life-cycle needs. Healthy animals generate Diversity Points, which can be spent on more wildlife and ecosystem changes. [Official press kit](https://equilinox.com/presskit/sheet.php?p=equilinox)

How do evolution and genetic modification work in Equilinox?

You can genetically modify traits and behaviors in existing species, then evolve them to unlock more exotic plants and animals. The press kit lists more than 120 species and ten biome types as part of the progression system. [Official press kit](https://equilinox.com/presskit/sheet.php?p=equilinox)

Does Equilinox have a creative mode without survival restrictions?

Yes. The 2019 Creative Mode update added unlimited plant and animal placement, free trait modification, color changes, duplication, and day-night controls without normal environmental restrictions. [Steam update announcement](https://steamcommunity.com/app/853550/announcements/)
