What players should know
Thrive is a science-inspired evolution simulation from Revolutionary Games Studio. Begin as a microscopic organism on an alien world, gather compounds, avoid predators, and reproduce. Between generations, reshape your species with organelles, membranes, tolerances, and behaviors that affect how it survives. Other species evolve through a population simulation, creating competition across changing biomes. The Microbe Stage is complete and the Multicellular Stage is in active development. Later stages remain prototypes that demonstrate the project's long-term path toward macroscopic life, societies, technology, space exploration, and an eventual sandbox-focused ascension stage.
