Unusual

Unusual is a computer-based digital game, and it is a mutant creature themed game in concept.
The game describes creatures undergoing genetic mutations due to habitat destruction in the background of polluted freshwater marshes and wetlands. Based on the predator-prey relations in ecosystems, the player plays predators of different levels in the ecosystem by turns to understand the operation of food chains and the formation of food webs and ecosystems. In addition, in the course of the game, the player will have to collect different plants according to mission requirements to achieve the goals of purifying soil, air and water, so that the ecosystem is restored to its original status.
The game takes place on a mid-latitude island where wastes have been dumped. Toxic substances are disposed in the limestone mountains, polluting along the river the whole ecological environment of the island. Besides, the flora and fauna on the island undergo genetic mutations owing to their contacts with polluting substances.
