Creature Lab

Creature Lab is a first-person simulation game in which you play a scientist searching for the ultimate mutagen. You establish a hideout, conduct experiments on test subjects and create mutants by growing DNA-based body parts and attaching them to the creatures you bring to life.

Experiment with mutagens

Prepare your laboratory and obtain basic reagents, then mix them to discover their properties. You can name your recipes, apply mutagens to test subjects and observe their reactions. The game includes thousands of mutagens to discover, unique body parts to grow and attach, and many interactions between substances and body parts. New substances appear each time you play.

Run your hideout

Manage resources and inventory, expand your laboratory and keep your hideout safe. Stress increases the chance that the Feds will visit and inspect your location, so you need to be patient and careful not to leave traces. A fear mechanic lowers the chance of your hideout being discovered.

Raid the city

When you need resources or test subjects, send your creatures into the city. Raids can spread panic to deter people from searching for your hideout. You can also plan for encounters with the military and send your strongest creatures to fight them.

Campaign and replay

Creature Lab has a single-player campaign mode, with resource management and strategic planning around city raids and military encounters. New substances each time you play provide continued replayability.
