Bio Inc - Biomedical Plague vs Viridi
Bio Inc - Biomedical Plague
Bio Inc - Biomedical Plague is a biomedical strategy simulator that is quite similar to Plague Inc in the sense that you get to develop and modify your own pathogen, be it a virus or a bacteria, and your goal is to eventually kill the person you infect. However, unlike Plague Inc where your goal is to wipe out the human race, this game is more modest in nature since it only gives you to opportunity to help the disease, as opposed to the patient, spread throughout the infected person's systems and win against the team of doctors that are working to save him.Since the game is focused on the individual infectee, you can actually see the human body degrade in real-time as you make your pathogen as resilient and as unstoppable as it can be. This actually makes Bio Inc a more gruesome game to play than Plague Inc. That said, if you're looking for a similar game to Plague Inc, this is, without a doubt, the closest game you can find.
Viridi
Viridi has been hailed as one of the most relaxing game on Steam, though the game is now available on both Android and iOS now as well. How can you relax by playing this game? Well, Viridi is basically a plant simulator; a safe haven where you can patiently take care of a large pot of plants that are often arranged decoratively to resemble something you might see in a terrarium. The game is not intended to be played in long periods of time. Just like a real life plant, you simply need to check in once a day or so, water and maybe fertilize it, and leave it to grow at its own pace. If you do a good job of caring for your plant, it might even flower for you (as long as it's a flowering plant)!Viridi is a limited free-to-play game which makes it more of a free-to-try. There are some free plants you can play around with for free, but if you want to really get into the game, there is an assortment of different plants in the in-game nursery that you can buy with real money. You can also get a free seedling every week.
