Everything

About

In Everything you control a shifting cast of characters ranging from single cells to entire star systems. The game lets you wander through ecosystems and cosmic landscapes without set objectives or time limits. You can communicate with other entities using a simple language system and watch as the world reacts to your presence. The simulation runs on procedural AI that generates behavior for every creature and object in the environment. Philosophical narration by Alan Watts plays throughout the experience. The game's greatest strength lies in its scale and shifting perspectives. Players often describe moments of awe when switching from navigating a forest as an ant to steering a planet through space. Community feedback is split between those who embrace its abstract approach and those who find it too slow. Despite mixed reactions it holds a 78 on Metacritic with praise for its ambitious design. The ability to play as any object in the simulation remains its most talked about feature.
