Genre: Experimental Cooperative Touch-Table Game

An experimental multiplayer game that can be played with four phones and a touch screen. Work together to create a lifeform. The four players each use their phone to interact with the creature in a specific way: controlling its heartbeat, emotions as well as feeding it or watering it. Manipulate its cells to evolve it through minigames all players play together on the big touchscreen. You are always facing the question of whether you should kill the creature, evolve it or let it go. The game plays with the emotions people have towards other lifeforms and if/how we try to control them.
