Strange Seed

Strange Seed is a creature evolution game crossed with an action-adventure RPG. You're a lowly blob — but with the ability to evolve any DNA you eat, you don't have to stay that way. Upgrade parts to fight, run, fly, and overcome your environment. Mammals, birds, insects, dinosaurs — everything is on your menu! It's inspired by Spore's creature stage but reimagined as a role-playing journey where your parts actually matter. Start your journey as a humble blob, the "strange seed" that just fell off a very abnormal tree. There are a lot of blobs out there, but you seem to be somewhat unique. Acquire parts of DNA from any creature you eat. Combine parts to achieve the most powerful body! However, be careful not to neglect any part of your form. A powerful head and torso might be good for fighting — but too slow to chase down prey. No creature part is useless!

  • 7 part slots, 30+ full creatures: over 10 million potential combinations!
  • Extras: from horns and ears to hats and machine guns, you aren't limited to biological parts
  • Metroidvania challenges: specific parts combinations are necessary to solve certain challenges
  • Part features: flying, climbing, charging, reading, and other weird abilities
  • Intimidating (but cheeseable, you've got all those parts) boss fights
