Description
About This Game
A Real Fruit Fly Brain: Where Electronic Life Begins
FlyMuse 2 features a semi-conscious artificial electronic fruit fly with a real fruit fly brain. Approximately 165,000 neurons and over 25 million neural connections link its brain activity to a physical body. There are no scripts at all: all of its activity arises autonomously from its semi-consciousness. You can observe neural activity in real time, tune neural circuits, and explore how different stimuli affect its responses. This “semi-conscious” artificial electronic lifeform will join you on an adventure.
Observe Its Brain, Understand Its Responses
Open the brain activity panel to see how external stimuli and bodily states affect neural activity. Adjust circuits, compare different settings, and watch how its behavior changes. Exploration takes place both in the world before you and inside the brain of this tiny lifeform.
Change the Environment, Open a Path
Move objects, redirect water, and use wind and counterweights to solve the mechanisms blocking your way. A plank, a leaf, or an unassuming everyday item could be the key to overcoming an obstacle. Observe how things in the scene connect, experiment for yourself, and discover new uses for familiar objects.
Guide Through Stimuli, Interact with Electronic Life
Place candy, ribbons, and water droplets to draw its attention and encourage it to approach and explore. Choose suitable spots to help it walk, take flight, or find a place to land, while keeping an eye on hunger, thirst, and fatigue. Once a mechanism opens the way, your guidance is still needed to turn that path into a journey actually traveled.
A Tiny Body, an Enormous World
From kitchens and living rooms to streets and underground spaces, everyday environments take on a different scale. Sinks become chasms, furniture provides cover, and air currents alter the course of flight. Follow clues, watch for danger, and discover paths suited to a tiny fruit fly in a vast environment.
An Undelivered Cake, a Journey into the Unknown
An abruptly interrupted date takes the story from a familiar corner into the unknown. Follow the traces left along the way, overcome one obstacle after another, and let the details of each scene gradually piece together the story. The encounters and discoveries ahead are yours to uncover on the journey.
