It's one of the best things I've read about a game for ages, and I'm always reading about games. Read this via RPS, and just wanted to say that I really enjoyed it, a lot.

I reinstalled using the Gog version recently and was taken by surprise at how desperate and useless I felt when they get ill and whatever you do you can't save them. Or the time when I accidentally injected one with adrenaline, instead of energy. She died. I cried. Creatures 4 is supposed to be out this year. I wait with bated breath!
