Sproots is a colony survivial game where you control small Pikmin like creatures in a Sims-esque manner
Each 'sproot' is in constant need of food and water. Their camp is always located near a 'life plant' where they gather water, but you'll have to help them out getting food!
Eventually every sproot will die of age (around 60), so be sure to let them breed new eggs on their nest!
During their lifetime they can study objects, learn skills, craft structures and items, and teach each other about their findings!
Love this game. A little tricky to get the hang of at first, but its def one of those types of games where you have to be ok with starting over and trying again. It really does feel inspired by Pikmin. There are a lot of bugs, though. And there are no save states. Made it past day 100 and mistakenly clicked "new game" and lost my save. Huge bummer!...
