About the Game

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 125 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.

Here are the changes that have been made:

Choosing an initial language on 1st launch now requires you to confirm via a Continue button (this should reduce instances of picking the wrong language)

Baby bosses from the unattended eggs have movement SFX reduced

Hey Crabbies 🦀
Everything is Crab has reached its next evolution, and is OUT NOW!
[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3526710/Everything_is_Crab_The_Animal_Evolution_Roguelite/"]
Become Darwin, an amorphous blue blob with infinite potential, thrown into a living ecosystem where you need to feed and avoid becoming food. Fight and flee as you feast on fruit, fungi, and/or flesh to level up. Choose from over 100 evolutions and more than 20 specialisations granting new arms, legs, wings, eyes, fur, and so, so much more to help you carve out your own niche on the evolutionary tree.
As well as the game launching, a Supporter Pack is available! This adds Ghost Crab-themed cosmetics to the evolutions: Exoskeleton, Pincer, Pistol Pincer, and More Eyes for £3.99 / $4.99 / €4.99. This paid content provides an option to further support the Crab team, if you wish - and in the process, you unlock visual items to show off, which do not alter gameplay or progression one bit. You'll just look extra stylish!

Check out Darwin's Guide to Survival: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 to help you take your first steps, or should I say first scuttle, in Everything is Crab!
If you come across any bugs or would like to give us some feedback, the best place to do so is the Game's Official Discord, where we have individual Bug and Feedback forums! If you don't have Discord or would prefer to share your feedback here, please see the pinned discussion threads.
Talking of Discord, starting from 11 am BST, we have a Discord Quest. By watching the trailer in the app, you'll be able to earn some Discord Orbs, which can be used for profile vanity items and Discord Nitro!
Along with the launch of Everything is Crab, Secret Mode is hosting a Crab Shellebration Event! Starting at 6 pm BST later today and running until May 18th. This event will include games such as our very own Everything is Crab, Aggro Crab's Another Crab's Treasure, Noisestorm's Crab Champions, and Devolver's upcoming The Dungeon Experience!
