SilkWood is a casual paced game based on a digital organism called The Elders that live on a farm where the weather is based on downloaded real-world weather.The player controls the action of the Elder through a 24-hour real-time scheduler.With this scheduler the player can assign timeslots for the Elder to work, eat, sleep, watch TV and do other things. There’s even a workout session available.SilkWood features a complex biology in which the Elder must maintain a certain body temperature. The heat that the body needs is created by the food that the Elder eats. Diseases in SilkWood can disrupt this biology and cause the Elder to get sick, loose body heat and eventually go into a coma.
