Polyzonia is an ecosystem sim about breathing life into the Amazon rainforest until it can look after itself

Polyzonia is an upcoming ecosystem simulation game that aims to breathe life into the Amazon rainforest until it can sustain itself. The game shares a Spore-like quality, where players start with nothing and gradually introduce plant life, animals, and other elements through clicks. As the ecosystem develops, players can focus on the micro-level by clicking on individual flowers to help them pollinate or prompt frog spawn to turn into frogs.

The developers seem mindful of the flora and fauna, ensuring the game's inhabitants interact with the world around them and that players can influence them. Polyzonia does not yet have a release date, but players can wishlist it on Steam.

  • Empty VAST wrapper schema-valid in VAST 4.4, unlike versions 2.0 to 4.2
  • Change due to CTV Ad Portfolio restructure, not deliberate decision
  • Empty wrapper and inline VAST wrapper both validate in VAST 4.4
