About This Game

Devour. Evolve. Descend.

Command a swarm of tiny predators against a pit of living, armed structures. Every run is a race against hunger. Bite through defenses, collect biomass, and buy immediate upgrades to keep the swarm alive.

Build your swarm between runs

Bring Essence back to the Nest for permanent evolutions. Unlock genes as you descend, equip up to two, and choose a mutation that changes how your swarm grows, survives, or attacks. You can direct purchases yourself or enable optional automation.

Choose when to intervene

Six active powers give you ways to respond to the fight: Pincer, Bellow, Spectral Tide, Fracture, Fulguration, and Artillery. Disrupt enemy weapons, cut through structures, launch electric strikes, or deploy drones. Timing matters when the swarm is under fire.

Reach the bottom

Fight through depths 0–10. The structures and threats change as you descend, and each depth ends in a timed duel. Devour the final Core to complete the campaign, then revisit depths or take on optional challenges.

Play your way

Use automatic or fixed camera framing, adjust zoom and effect intensity, and rally the swarm when you want to direct its attention. An introductory tutorial explains the controls and resources. Your progress can be preserved when updating; a fresh start with backup is optional for players who want to experience the revised progression from the beginning.
