Defying the "crabification" rule in a living ecosystem

In biology, there is a strange phenomenon known as carcinisation, where many different species tend to evolve into crab-like forms. In Everything Is Crab, your mission is to go against this trend. Instead of becoming an ordinary crab, players choose their own evolutionary path to survive and thrive in a dangerous, ever-changing ecosystem.

Deep evolution system with more than 125 abilities

The game’s biggest highlight is its deep character customization system. With over 125 different skills and evolutionary branches, every run delivers a completely new gameplay and visual experience. Players can mix and match legs, claws, wings, feathers, tails, and even tentacles to create powerful hybrid creatures known as chimeras.

The game allows full freedom in shaping your strategy:

  • Become a ruthless predator dominating the food chain.
  • Transform into a fast, stealthy scavenger that survives by avoiding conflict.
  • Take the role of a leader guiding a swarm to ensure survival.

A dynamic and ever-changing natural world

Everything Is Crab features four distinct biomes, each with unique weather patterns, flora, and fauna. A day-night cycle combined with environmental events forces players to constantly adapt or risk being eliminated by natural selection.

In addition, the game includes a deep meta-progression system. Players can unlock new gene sets to diversify starting builds, tackle challenging scenarios, or test their limits in Endless mode to see how long they can survive before the inevitable collapse of the ecosystem.
