What Cellscape is
Cellscape is an unreleased arcade game in development at Kate Solbakk, currently scheduled for 1 January 2027. It is available on Linux and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity 6.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Cellscape puts you in the role of a little microbe trying to survive and increase the population of your species. You start out in a tiny patch of soil that was recently disturbed, so the habitat is pretty much gone. It's just a bunch of loose mineral particles and some bacteria. You start swimming around eating bacteria, and each time you eat one, you grow a little bit. Once you've grown enough, you divide and produce a little copy of yourself which swims off on its own while you continue eating and dividing. In the meantime, the environment around you is changing. Bacteria change the physical structure of the soil, pushing particles together to create new obstacles that can block your way…
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Dual-core CPU (Intel/AMD) @ 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM and DX10, DX11, or DX12-capable GPU. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
