From Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of the Harvest Moon series, comes a new sandbox title called Birthdays the Beginning. The game allows the players to create cube-shaped worlds and fill them with mountains, forests, and seas. Altering the world’s geography and temperature gives rise to life forms, which continue to evolve and adapt to the environment, eventually resulting in the birth of an entire ecosystem.

In addition to sandbox gameplay, Birthdays the Beginning also has a challenge mode, which adds various success conditions to the game. The ultimate goals in the game include unlocking every creature in the library, and creating an environment suitable for a civilization, according to this interview.
