Everything Is Crab Confirms May 8 PC Launch
The evolutionary roguelite Everything Is Crab will fully emerge on May 8, launching on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Stove. Ahead of release, players can already dive into a substantial free demo on Steam.
Blending creature evolution with roguelite structure, Everything Is Crab drops players into a vibrant but hostile ecosystem where survival hinges on adaptation.
Evolve, Mutate, Or Embrace Carcinisation
Set in a bright and biologically chaotic world, the game challenges players to hunt, scavenge and consume other creatures to unlock new evolutionary traits. More than 100 evolutions are available, ranging from practical enhancements such as improved vision and mobility to aggressive mutations like antlers, beaks and venomous saliva.
Players can even graft on abilities inspired by other species, including the devastating pincer of a pistol shrimp. The system encourages experimentation, allowing near-limitless build combinations across runs.
At the heart of the experience lies a tongue-in-cheek evolutionary dilemma. Resist the pull of carcinisation and maintain a unique form, or surrender to nature’s favourite blueprint and become a crab.
A Living Ecosystem With Escalating Pressure
Everything Is Crab unfolds across multiple biomes, each populated by distinct enemy types and environmental hazards. Giant bosses roam these regions with defined attack patterns, offering high-risk, high-reward encounters for players willing to stand their ground.
The game features 20 levels of Selective Pressure, gradually increasing difficulty for those seeking mastery. An Exploration Mode with reduced difficulty offers a more accessible entry point, while hardcore Challenges aim to push even experienced players to their limits.
Unlockable genetic variations persist between runs, tracked through an in-game Codex that catalogues discovered traits and evolutionary combinations.
The current Steam demo includes 10 difficulty levels, a wide selection of evolutions and several Challenge modes, providing a robust preview ahead of launch.
Everything Is Crab releases May 8, 2026 on PC.
