Recommendations for antfarm-type games
I've always wondered what to actually refer to these types of games as but I've seen a lot of people use the term "antfarm" and it feels quite fitting. In short it's games like Tomodachi Life (especially Living the Dream) and the cult side of Cult of the Lamb in which you have lots of people doing stuff on their own, usually people you create, which will exist with as much input from the player as they desire - much like watching an antfarm. Another game that comes to mind, which is much much older, is Creatures but that's also a little more complex
I know LtD just came out and it's not like I'm tired of it or anything, I'm just wondering if there's more like it out there. If there actually is a subgenre of colony sim which is much more "antfarm-y". Steam Deck is best suited for me but anything really works
Thank you :)
