Hello dear Guardians!
Today we wanted to present Crab God and all there is to know about the game!
Welcome, Guardian of the Abyss
Crab God is an atmospheric underwater strategy game where you nurture a quirky family of Crablings and breathe life into your underwater domain.
As the Guardian of the Abyss, you have an important mission: defend the Crab God's egg. But being a Guardian is not solely babysitting duty; indeed, you will have to help with the protection of your ecosystem, cultivate enough food to sustain it and migrate to deeper waters where it will hatch and become the new ocean caretaker. However, you will not be alone in that journey...
Crablings, at your service!
Loyal children and subjects of the Crab God, the Crablings will assist your work to protect the ecosystem and help you through migrations into the deeper waters. Your colony of Crablings will build mighty coral reefs, protect your ecosystem against threats, and collect food for the journey ahead. Develop their full potential and see them become their own individuals, with their particular personalities and also the possibility to name them to your liking!
If at the end of a migration you collect even more food than necessary, you will have the choice to feed one or multiple Crablings more which will help you level them up faster. Each level gained by a Crabling grants new traits and abilities that can help them perform better in certain tasks or even obtain more life points. You will have the choice between 5 roles to give to your Crablings, switching from one to another depending on your strategy and your ecosystem needs.
The roles available to your Crablings are:
- Gardeners: their mission is to take care of the flora of your ecosystem, either by getting rid of invasive sea weeds or by adding new corals and plants, that will attract new wildlife.
- Builders: no rocks nor stones can resist the builder's mighty hammer (no Thor related pun here). Thanks to their work, you will be able to reach wider horizons for your ecosystem and who knows what you can find beyond your previous ecosystem's borders.
- Scavengers: attracting new wildlife to your ecosystem also means more food for your Crablings. Here come the Scavengers whose purpose is to collect these provisions to prepare for the migration to come.
- Worshippers: a great god must receive prayers and offerings to sustain its powers. The sacred duty of Crabling Worshippers is to send their prayers at the Crab God's shrine to generate favour, an in-game currency that can be used to change your Crablings roles or to add new species into your ecosystem.
- Hunters: these Crablings have two main goals: generating food and protecting all the hard work you put into creating the best ecosystem. Because you see, you are not the only one trying to thrive in the depth of the ocean...
Lurking in the shadows
Natural selection is part of the natural order, but it means you will need to fight to survive! Indeed, many threats will put your ecosystem and your Crablings in danger: starfish stealing your provisions, evil crabs killing your fellow Crablings and many more...
However you may also be your own enemy if you do not manage and protect your ecosystem with care. A lack of food for the migration means one dreadful thing: you'll have to sacrifice your Crablings to feed the others. However, the Crab God will not tolerate the sacrifice of their offspring eternally, and as a Guardian, you will have to be strategic to keep your godhood intact.
Your own ecosystem
Build your own ecosystem in Crab God: choose between all kinds of corals and seagrasses to plant and upgrade to create a place full of life and wonders. Each plantable attracts different kinds of animals, from clownfish to turtles, and if the creatures find your ecosystem to their taste, they will settle there and provide you with more food to eat! Unlock all the different species and discover facts about these amazing underwater critters.
In-game actions, real-life impact
We told you earlier that you are now Guardians of the Abyss. Well it is not solely the case in Crab God's world. Thanks to our partnership with dots.eco, different in-game actions will lead to real-life ones to protect our dear planet. Our vision was to create a new type of game and to take a step further into the future of gaming, a more environmentally responsible one. Crab God helps you to feel good about making a difference, and offers a sense of real accomplishment, converting in-game actions into planting trees, cleaning ocean plastic, planting new corals, and more.
Now you know all there is to become a true Guardian of the Abyss! Stay tuned for upcoming updates and remember: make waves, praise the claw! 🦀
