They never appreciated me. They never understood my genius. But now... now I will prove their insignificance to them!
Work is busy, here in my lab. After someone posted what I do on the Internet, I had to pick up the pace and organize my approach. From this point forth, I shall write detailed logs on the progress I've made... for posterity.
Let's begin with the mixtures!
Yes, my precious mixtures. So colorful, so beautiful. So powerful. There are three types of mixtures, you see. There are, of course, ingredients. The most basic of basics, each containing just one aspect. One is not nearly enough but we all have to start somewhere, don't we? I can find these ingredients anywhere in the city but I usually don't occupy myself with the tedious task of acquiring them and send out my minions to grab what I need. That's far more efficient!

But what happens when you mix two different ingredients, you might ask. Well, as one might expect, if you do this properly, you receive something that contains not one but two aspects. I tend to call such a mixture, an elixir. In theory, there is no limit to how complex an elixir might be. It could have just two aspects or it could three or it could have six! The only issue is finding the right equipment to brew such complex elixirs... I'm afraid that my current laboratory just doesn't cut it beyond a certain point. Ah, I should really upgrade my lab but how can I waste my precious time when there's more science to do?
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Even the most complex elixirs are, frankly, useless. Scientifically speaking, they are incredible, but they just aren't enough to create more minions. You see, aspects alone just don't cut it. You need something more - an activator. Difficult to acquire, certainly. But without it, I simply cannot reanimate my minions. The activator is the key.

So, what do you get if you mix an elixir with three aspects and an ingredient with an activator? The answer is - a mutagen! The very key to my success! Mutagens are the bread and butter of reputable scientists such as myself. They practically do all the work for me. And depending on the aspects contained within a mutagen, I can create all sorts of wonderful monstrosities to do my bidding! Super strength? Easy! Unrivaled agility? Not even a challenge! An intellect that could rival mine... well, that's obviously not possible but you get the idea.
Of course, discovering the most potent mutagen of all does require a bit of trial and error. Even I can't always predict how my chosen ingredients will mix. And I'm certain that if there was another, parallel universe, the same ingredients could even contain entirely different aspects! Just think about the endless possibilities!
If that doesn't excite you, I don't know what will.
The above is the first of many "Scientist Logs". Stay tuned for more news about Creature Lab and discuss the implications of this post on our official Discord server!
Oh and if it wasn't clear enough - we believe that you can find yourself in a parallel universe every time you start a new game ːamazedskullDPWː So even if you beat the game once, you can start again and enjoy the fun of experimenting with unknown ingredients all over again!
