Perup

Found a nature reserve, stock its species, and balance ⚖️ the food 🍎 web each season. Perup is a nature reserve simulation. Found a reserve in a fen, steppe, or taiga biome, then guide it through 24 seasons of growth, weather 🌤️ events, and wildlife management. Each reserve starts with a patch of habitat and a starting budget 💰 of survey points. Spend them in Stock to introduce plants and animals drawn from a real food 🍎 web: producers like reed and duckweed, herbivores such as the water vole and coot, and predators like the weasel, grass snake, and marsh harrier. Every species has its own diet 🥗, its own break-even population, and its own place in the chain beneath it. Tap 👆 Advance Season to move time ⏱️ forward. A season report 🧾 shows which populations grew, which shrank, and which went extinct, along with the survey points earned. Season events such as blooms, droughts, and cold snaps shift the balance ⚖️ further, and the isometric field view shows the reserve changing in real time as populations rise and fall. The Web tab lays out the whole food 🍎 chain as a diagram 📊 you can drag ✋ apart to see 👀 how predator and prey are connected. The Trends tab charts every population across all 24 seasons on a linear or logarithmic scale, with a season-by-season ledger of balance and losses underneath. A short in-app guide explains the underlying rules — carrying capacity, break-even prey levels, and predator-prey lag — as they come up. Reserves in Perup can end in success or collapse depending on how many species are lost to extinction, and each attempt is filed as a record you can review later. Harder difficulties start 🚀 with a smaller budget 💰 and a lower tolerance for loss, for players who want a tighter challenge. Whether you are here to watch 👀 a small wetland fill with life or to test how far a food 🍎 web can be pushed before it breaks, Perup turns population ecology into a season-by-season strategy game 🎮.
