You see, each of the fox/cat-like species in Niche has their own genetic make up. The prime way to achieve that is breeding in order to give you a genetic advantage. Using the animals’ senses, which allow you to pinpoint points of interest in your vicinity, the aim of the game is to keep the species alive by adapting to your surroundings, gathering food and surviving hardships. For each new day, each member of the tribe will consume 1 of the available food total and age. Those action points can be used to move around the location or complete actions. It’s a turn based strategy game where each of your tribe of animals gets a number of action points per turn which represents a day in the life of an animal. Niche is played out on hex grid locations that are linked to one another. Out in the wild, the animal meets another of its kind, Eve, and they start a tribe together in order to survive, breed and adapt to the challenges they will face, generation after generation. Panicked, it struggles and the predator drops the fox-thing, but it’s no longer near it’s family.
