About the Game

The core gameplay loop involves constructing creatures to explore hand-crafted worlds and collecting body parts and patterns to upgrade your creature. You can then use your newly acquired abilities to complete quests to earn cash and re-invest into your creature. However, if you’re more interested in just creating creatures, then you can switch over to creative mode and everything will already be unlocked!

Build

Customize the shape of your creature by manipulating its spine and attaching transformable body parts. Altering your creature then changes its statistics (e.g., weight, speed, health etc.) and attaching certain body parts gives it special abilities (e.g., flying, swimming, biting etc.).

Paint

Change the color of your creature’s body and attached body parts, as well as the pattern and texture of your creature’s skin.

Play

When you’re finished designing your creature, you can bring it to life! Traverse forests, swim in the ocean or fly high above the clouds — your creature will procedurally animate to adapt to its environment.
