About the Game

You are a terminal operator working in a grim, dystopian industrial substructure where mutated creatures are worth more alive than dead. Your job is simple and dirty: track the target, throw a net, and deliver the capture to your personal terminal.

Every creature generates passive income and experience.

The rarer the creature, the faster your economy grows.

You don’t kill creatures - you exploit them.

Captured mutants become assets that power your terminal, unlock new upgrades, and open the path to advanced evolutions. Combine pets, experiment with mutations, and increase their market value.

The deeper you go, the more valuable the capture…

Enter the zone solo or team up with up to 4 players in co-op.

Work together, split the risks - or compete for the most valuable captures.

Terminal upgrades expand your capabilities:

  • Increased storage capacity and efficiency

  • Enhanced mobility and jump upgrades

  • Faster and stronger passive economy growth

The stronger your terminal becomes, the more control you gain over the substructure.

KEY FEATURES

  • Co-op for up to 4 players with lobbies and quick start

  • Rarity-based economy - rarer creatures mean higher profit

  • Upgrades and evolutions - combine pets to unlock new forms and increase value
