## About Everything is Crab: The Animal Evolution Roguelite

Everything is Crab: The Animal Evolution Roguelite is a 2026 action-strategy indie simulation where players survive as a creature within a procedurally generated living ecosystem. Developed by Odd Dreams Digital and published by Secret Mode, the core loop revolves around hunting, fleeing, and scavenging to adapt and thrive across multiple runs. Players select from over 125 evolutions and specializations to build unique creature combinations, adjusting their approach as survival challenges intensify. The game's premise centers on carcinisation, the evolutionary phenomenon where disparate species tend toward crab-like forms, tasking players with either achieving this biological endpoint or facing natural extinction. The title holds a 76% positive rating from over 5,400 Steam reviews and is verified for Steam Deck play, available at $9.99 USD.
