The gameplay focuses on raising alien creatures known as Norns, teaching them to survive, helping them explore their world, defending them against other species, and breeding them. Words can be taught to the creatures by a learning computer (for verbs) or by repeating the name of the object while the creature looks at it.

Explore the enchanting world of Albia and discover the amazing virtual lifeforms called Norns. The Norns in Creatures display real feelings from hunger and pain to frustration and fear. They'll breed, evolve and wage a fierce struggle for survival right on your computer screen!

Explore four entirely different ecosystems, and manage the ship using the engineering and bridge areas. Three new breeds of Norn: Civet, Bengal and Bruin. Meet the kleptomaniac Ettins and vicious Grendels! Connecting agents allow you to take machines and plug them together to make super machines!

Creatures 2 is the second game in the Creatures artificial life game series made by Creature Labs, and the sequel to the 1996 game Creatures. It features three species: the cute, dependent Norns, the cantankerous Grendels and the industrious Ettins.

Creatures is an artificial life simulation where the user hatches small furry animals and teaches them how to behave, or leaves them to learn on their own. These "Norns" can talk, feed themselves, and protect themselves against vicious creatures called Grendels. It was the first popular application of machine learning in an interactive simulation.

Explore the Shee Laboratories and discover the all-new Norns inhabiting a vibrant, living eco-system - find the Genetic Splicer and defend your Norns against the vicious and disease-ridden Grendels. Creatures: The Albian Years is a compilation of Creatures 1 with both Life Kits, Creatures 2 with its Life Kit and 6 Official Object Packs
