The game also features the five pillars of population genetics (genetic drift, genetic flow, mutation, natural selection, sexual selection). All knowledge is interwoven with the game-mechanics. This creates the effect of learning by playing.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Niche - a genetics survival game has an interesting premise centered on genetics and creature evolution, but players are divided on its execution. The main criticisms are that gameplay is repetitive and shallow, with constant food collection, oversimplified genetics that are mostly cosmetic, and limited depth that makes it feel unfinished. Some players find it relaxing and engaging once they get into it, though others quickly lose interest due to the lack of meaningful mechanics and content.
I've tried really hard to like this game, i love genetic based games, but this just isnt fun at all for me. Theres barely any gameplay so it gets boring and repetitive fast. I thought maybe i missed some stuff but no, there just that little gameplay.2 found this helpful
Good idea, but it kinda feels unfinished, all you do is just collect food ALL THE TIME and reproduce of course. The genetics are also very simplified and rarely affect the gameplay, most of the traits are cosmetic, i expected it to be more difficult. It can get repetitive and boring pretty fast, and i hope for more updates. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☑ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☑ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to gr…1 found this helpful
This game is really fun the only problem I have is how much it lags, but that's just my computer being old. :D
A very nice and relaxing game if you like genetics. NOT! You need to be ready to take your whole little family of ugly Nichelings and RUN, you are NOT SAFE.
