Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Niche is a self-described "genetics survival game", developed by Stray Fawn Studio (formerly team Niche). It spent some time in Steam Early Access before getting a full release in 2016, followed by a Switch release in 2020. A mobile version, titled Niche - Breed and Evolve was released on June 24, 2021.There, you start with two nichelings under your control, and use them to gather food, breed and explore the island you're on. Occasionally, you may run into predators. The real fun of the game, of course, is its breeding mechanics. Every nicheling has a set of genes, and you have to look at the recessive and dominant traits to figure out which two nichelings have the greatest likelihood of creating good offspring.Unlike some games, there is no stopping the incest. To continue the game, you have to breed what you can get, and while you can meet friendly nichelings in the grass to avoid incest early in the game, the likelihood of meeting wanderers drops as time passes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Adam and Eve Plot: The first two nichelings you get in Story Mode are aptly named Adam and Eve.

Awesome, but Impractical: Toxic body - Despite being more difficult to obtain and giving your nichelings a more distinct look, it isn't really that useful compared to the other body types. It's only useful if your nicheling gets eaten, which you can easily avoid by simply killing the predator before it can. Just as true for the spiky body. While it looks awesome, it's only useful if you get attacked. Even worse, it actually harms the nichelings the spiky bodied nicheling tries to breed with, making it worse than useless. The developers seem aware that these body types are useless though, as the most common place to find these body types are on rogue males. The spiky body has been changed in recent updates so that it no longer harms other members of your pack when mating, only when licking to stop bleeding.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

All Genes Are Codominant: Completely averted. Genetics work like in real life, with genes being dominant, recessive, and co-dominant according to what makes sense.

Abhorrent Admirer: Sometimes rogue males will show up and attempt to breed with your females. This can be very annoying, as they tend to carry undesirable genes like the derp snout, crippled paw, blindness, and hemophillia. Depending on how successful they are, they can be this or the Kavorka Man.
