Released on the 8th, the new roguelike 'Everything is Crab' is already turning heads, having racked up over 1,000 reviews in record time.

Published by Secret Mode and developed by Odd Dream Digital, 'Everything is Crab' is an action roguelite that leans into the absurd theory of carcinisation—the idea that everything eventually evolves into a crab. It is a bizarre journey where your protagonist undergoes various transformations, all leading to that inevitable crustacean destiny.

The game boasts over 125 evolution abilities and specialisations, forcing players to constantly mix and match to craft unique, ever-changing forms. Beneath its charming pixel-art exterior lies a surprisingly deep system where your strategic choices dictate your survival, whether you are traversing lush forests, harsh deserts, or the tundra, all of which shift in character as the day-night cycle rolls on.

Every creature in this ecosystem has its own agenda. Playing as Darwin the slime, you must hunt others and feast on their remains to gain experience, grafting their physical traits onto yourself. Whether you opt for direct combat buffs like damage resistance, shields, or cooldown reductions, or choose non-combat specs like social skills to manipulate the local fauna, the choice is entirely yours.

By blending the creature-evolution vibes of Spore with the high-stakes intensity of an action roguelike, the game has clearly struck a nerve. Within just two days of launch, it hit over 100,000 sales and crossed the 1,000-review threshold. As of 4 PM on the 10th, 'Everything is Crab' is enjoying a 'Very Positive' reception, with 89% of its 1,070 reviews singing its praises.

Looking ahead, the team has promised a free update this summer to polish quality-of-life features and add a dash of new cosmetic variety. Come autumn, players can expect a double-drop of both paid and free content updates, which will include an expanded aquatic biome.
