The game is made by myself include art assets, music and program.

The game is come from a game jam and the topic is The Selfish Gene.

The Selfish Gene proposes that genes are selfish, controlling life in nature like drivers (gene) drive cars (lifes). Humans are also one of the genetically driven machines. Driven by genes, life takes actions that are beneficial to the reproduction of genes.

However, through the transmission and inheritance of culture, human beings have produced memes similar to genes. Memes spread and reproduce through human culture. The author wanted to make a game discussing the relations between memes and genes: Human console. In the game, more genetic inheritance means more game points. But as a particular life group of gamers, is it really the case that the higher the score, the better?

Players will play as a gene, through the console implantation of host selected genes to achieve more genetic inheritance.

The game contains 13 gene cards and 8 meme cards. There are no specific win or lose conditions; the goal is to achieve as much genetic inheritance as possible. The gene card will provide more genetic inheritance.

The unfinished part of the game includes the genetic inheritance combo between cards, with different age groups having different minimum genetic inheritance score limits.
