About This Game

Section Header with text "The Animal Evolution Roguelite"

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!
