About

Become a mad scientist in search of the ultimate mutagen!
Here, you can outshine even the famous Frankenstein with your incredible mutants! Prove your genius once and for all and let nobody stop you.

Creature Lab sets you on a difficult path of a genius, yet a bit wicked scientist with a very liberal approach to test subjects and official procedures. Establish your hideout and let the experiments commence! Conduct crazy experiments, mix mutagens, analyze their properties, grow DNA-based body parts, and attach them to your test subjects.

So many possibilities… Prepare your laboratory, obtain basic reagents, and see what happens when you mix them together. Don’t forget to name all your recipes! Apply your mutagens to test subjects and observe how they react. Grow entirely new body parts and attach them to the creatures you just brought to life. Discover nearly limitless interactions between mutagens and body parts as you slowly assemble an army of mutants.

There's no use hoping for government funds so you'll make do with anything you can find or even steal. Manage your inventory, expand your lab, and make sure your hideout is safe. Don’t let the panic guide you, the more stressed you are, the bigger chance Feds will drop by to say hello and check your spot! Don’t leave any traces, be patient and extremely careful! They will never even know what hit them!

Running low on resources? Need more test subjects? Send your sick creatures into the city! Find whatever resources you need. Spread panic in the city to scare off anyone trying to find your hideout. And if the military starts looking for you, send the strongest of your creatures to teach them a lesson. Let no one stop you in your search for the ultimate mutagen!

Creature Lab reviews and comments

Sadly a very underwhelming project. I had high hopes for this one ever since the announcement, but the lack of sandbox mode without the time constraints combined with a rather steep learning curve makes this one a disappointment for me.
It can still get much better with updates, but for now I'll sit on this one.
