Niche - a genetics survival game is a turn-based strategy game combined with simulation and roguelike elements. Shape your own species of animals based on real genetics. Keep your species alive against all odds, such as predators, climate change
I've played about an hour and a half and it is a fun, rather relaxing game. It's turn based so no big rushing around, and so far the genetics part has been pretty minor. I suspect it will be more important as I complete the tutorial mission and go into the Sandbox mode. It's been out for a couple of years, although I don't know how much of that was Early Access.
The gameplay is pretty easy to pick up and you don't have to get too serious over the genetics if you don't want to. Basically it's about growing your pack of animals/beings/whatever while focusing on gathering food and reproducing. The genetics part comes in when you want to focus the development of your beings on certain areas, like being able to swim, to dig, to crack open nuts, or to be able to hunt down predators.
