Everything is Crab

Set in a living ecosystem, Everything is Crab is a cute, challenging, highly replayable action roguelite. Make animal-inspired evolutionary choices to concoct your own unique creature every run, both mechanically and visually. It's Spore meets Modern Roguelites. As everybody knows, eventually, every organism ends up evolving into a crab. Right? Well, except for you. Choose your own evolutionary path and strategy to thrive and defeat convergent evolution. Take that, science!

Over 100 abilities combine to create a plethora of different builds and playstyles: Become a wily trickster, a ferocious predator, a gregarious leader, a nimble nomad, or take on any number of other survival strategies. Legs! Claws! Pincers! Wings! More Legs! Fur! Tail! Scales! Tentacles! I SAID MORE LEGS!!! Build your formidable, visually awkward chimera or get Darwin'd in the process.

  • 100+ Evolution-Based Abilities: Endless possibilities and visual combinations. Strategy-defining evolutions. Many viable survival strategies and playstyles.
  • A Living, Thriving Ecosystem: Many different critters with their own goals and strategies, each of them with several stages of evolution. Four distinct biomes with different rules, climate events, points of interest, flora and fauna, with night and day cycles
  • AVariety of Bosses: That may (or may not) appear with each run
  • Huge Meta-Progression Layer: Difficulties system (if you dare!), Genetics (starting Characters), which can be combined to create endless starting character combinations, Challenge Scenarios (Ice Age, Always Night, Hunted…), to push your adaptation skills to the limit, and more evolutions.
  • Track Your Findings: Track meta-progression and achievements in the Codex.
