Our take on Creature Lab
Instead of centering on battlefield control or empire growth, this strategy-leaning simulation places creature creation and laboratory upkeep at its core. Its missions send customized mutants into the city, while fear and stress affect the safety of the hideout.
What is Creature Lab?
Creature Lab is a single-player simulation about operating a hideout and producing mutants through laboratory work.
Combine reagents into mutagens, study their traits, catalog formulas, cultivate genetically derived limbs, and fit them onto test subjects. Track supplies, enlarge the laboratory, and secure the hideout as rising stress increases the likelihood of federal detection. Dispatch creatures into the city to gather salvage and test subjects, cause fear, and face military opposition. The game offers a campaign plus fresh substances in every run, enabling repeated trials with varied mutagen and body-part combinations.
