Our take on Sipho
Instead of centering progression on a fixed character or equipment loadout, Sipho makes the creature itself the build. Body parts determine core functions, while species mixing, procedural worlds, sandbox construction, and mutations replace a single standard campaign structure.
What is Sipho?
Sipho combines action survival with creature construction, combat, exploration, and ecosystem competition.
Players assemble one creature from zooids, or body parts, with roles such as feeding, movement, attacks, and structural support. Six species become available during progression, and parts from different species can be mixed to shape different playstyles. Adventure mode features procedurally generated worlds, food collection, hostile creatures, and bosses that unlock additional parts. Sandbox mode provides unlimited creation tools for building creatures, arenas, and labyrinths, with creations saved for later use. New Game Plus introduces mutations that provide passive buffs while also increasing enemy mutations and difficulty. Environments range from underwater areas to lush and unfamiliar lands.
