Summary pulled directly from Steam - Some text may only be applicable to Steam platform

The Ultimate Ecosystem Sim Game

From the back-catalog of Pocketwatch Games, 2005's Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa was the game that started this indie's journey.

Expect the unexpected out of this unique Tycoon game -- There are no people to please, there is no money to horde, there are only animals. Packs of hungry lions, families of chattering baboons, and epic herds of wildebeests fill the ecosystems that players create and control.

Features

"Be the Animal" lets you take control over any creature
Earn jewels for building balanced ecosystems -- and use those jewels to bring rain to the desert
Compete for trophies and hidden content in the Sandbox or follow the journey of Dr. Willoughby and Miss Carrilou in Story Mode
