Like Creatures, Grandroids simulates the biological processes of creatures interacting with each other, but at a more basic level.  The brains, for example, output motor commands, in contrast to the high-level verb-object pairs of Creatures, and the brain architecture has been heavily guided by metrics like whether creatures are able to stand and look at stimuli.

The 3D environment has a day/night cycle, clouds, varied terrain, water and stars.  The game is implemented in [[wikipedia:Unity (game_engine)|Unity]].
