Creatures Internet Edition allows you to control the evolution of a species. The Norns are rather cute-looking creatures trapped aboard an interstellar spaceship, and they are in need of guidance to help them survive the trip. Selectively breed your Norns and teach them how to perform tasks as they travel through deep space. Innovative AI technology means that these creatures learn as you teach them, and gain characteristics representative of their upbringing.

Make sure that the driver to your 3D graphic card is proper installed and working.
