Starting out as an amorphous blob, you’ll have to avoid predators, or take them on directly as you evolve, with over 100 combinations based on real-life animals to unlock. It all takes place in a living ecosystem with multiple biomes and a distinct day/night cycle. 

Naturally, there are also large boss encounters to overcome, but dying always gives you an opportunity to try it all again with new genetic traits earned through each run.

Here’s another brief description from the press release:


The Animal Evolution roguelite. Hunt, Flee, Scavenge & Thrive in a living ecosystem. Choose from over 100 mutations to evolve your creature in countless ways with every run. Adapt to survive the natural curve in order to beat carcinisation… or get Darwin’d trying!
