Unfortunately, the systems of Darwinia have been overrun by an evil red Viral Infection. This Virus has multiplied out

of control and must be stopped.

The world of Darwinia is a virtual themepark, running inside a computer network built by a computer genius named Dr

Sepulveda.

Darwinia is populated by a sentient evolving life form called the Darwinians. They are the product of a decades worth of

research into genetic algorithms.

Your task is to destroy the Viral Infection and save the Darwinians from extinction.

The Darwinians can not be directly controlled. However you can influence the world by creating Programs such as

Squads and Engineers, which you can directly control and use as weapons.

Introversion was founded in June 2001 by Chris, Mark and Tom, straight out of University. Introversion is an Indie game developer, they are different from most other game developers and don’t follow the normal grinding out of games and are instead refreshingly creative and original. They are literally three guys who make games from their bedrooms hence why they call themselves The Last of the Bedroom Programmers. They don’t make massive graphics card mashing games, yet the games look amazing. Simplicity is the key and their games are basically simple. Yet the games are deep, emotional and intricate. The stories they weave are immersive and challenging both in playing and philosophically. They consist of:
