didn't grow up with this or any of the other creatures games when i was a kid, but even in current years this is one of the more interesting digital toyboxes i've played around with. just a treat to explore and surprisingly in-depth as far as virtual pets and life sims go, especially for something from way back in the early 2000s.

if you wanna give it a try, Docking Station is free on steam (with C3 available as paid DLC for cheap). creatures is so much more complex than it seems on the surface, but it's an interesting little experience for those with the right mindset and patience for it. you're absolutely going to have A Time trying to get the little buggers to listen to you though.
