Our take on Crabmeat
Its defining structure is a 7-day crabbing deadline: trap work, ship upkeep, navigation, and defense all serve the task of meeting a prisoner’s quota before the time runs out.
What is Crabmeat?
Crabmeat is a short first-person point-and-click survival horror game set in Antarctic waters.
Playing as an indebted prisoner, the task is to gather a quota of Southern King Crabs within 7 days to settle a debt to the Feudostate. The game takes place aboard a government-issued crabbing vessel, where players bait, set, winch, and empty traps. The ship must also be maintained and defended against creatures beneath the ice. Navigation and interaction use only a mouse, combining first-person presentation with point-and-click controls. The experience lasts 2–3 hours and includes other crustaceans alongside the Southern King Crab.
