A downloadable game for Windows

You are charged with escorting an endangered species, the Akle, to its breeding grounds. Pet it, feed it, direct it, and watch it explore its surroundings. However, the Akle is quite susceptible to parasites. Help it forage for curative herbs before it succumbs to the parasitoids. Make sure to keep an eye out for the aggressive alien species that might attack your Akle. Remember... you do not want to let the Akle be overcome by parasites.

Akle: Vivarium is a unique combination of the virtual pet and action-puzzle genres. Counteract enemies and collect all the required herbs before time runs out. Use your Akle's powers of teleportation to your advantage, escaping dead-ends and traps. There are two endings to the game.

A game made for the Themed Horror Game Jam #6.

The online version of this game should be fully functional, but if the controls aren't working, enter full-screen and click the background before returning to the game page. There may be some minor instabilities which aren't present in the Windows release, so we recommend downloading the game for optimal gameplay.
