Nichelings

In Niche, the player controls a pack of Nichelings. In early versions of the game these were simply called creatures. Nichelings have been described as having a canine-like or feline-like appearance, sometimes referred to as a "foxcat", with varying colors and features depending on their genes.

Actions

At the beginning of each day, all the little gems on the creatures become "lit", indicating they have full actions. Anything a creature does darkens out one gem (moving, attacking, gathering, etc.).

Food

At the end of each day, 1 food will be taken for each creature in the pack, including offspring born that night and creatures dying that night.

Menu

When selecting a creature, a menu will pop up in the bottom left corner showing the creature's name, age, damage bar, how many actions they have left, gender, and 2 circular icons. The icon showing a DNA helix, when clicked, shows the creature's gene bar and the paw icon shows their abilities.
