  Hey Crabbies! 🦀  Autumn is upon us; the weather is getting stormy and colder (or warmer for some!), and it’s time for us to adapt to the season by getting out those blankets and staying indoors. Luckily, we’re not alone in our plight– as Steam is hosting their Steam Autumn Sale, and Everything is Crab's price has evolved for it! From now until October 8th, begin your journey to avoid or succumb to carcinisation with a warming 20% discount. With the recent announcement of Everything is Crab being Steam Machine verified, it’s a perfect game to play while snuggled up on the sofa. Still not convinced? We can’t say much now, but we’re working on the next major update that is sure to bring quite the splash... For extra insight from Odd Dreams Digital, join the Discord, follow them on X, Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, and check out Secret Mode channels for all the big news for Everything is Crab! Carcinisation - a form of convergent evolution where non-crab crustaceans independently evolve into a crab-like body. 🦀

  Celebrating Our Community's Creations – Fanart Friday.

  Hey Crabbies! 🦀  Creativity is close to our hearts, and as such, it’s been incredible seeing screenshots of your Darwin. However, there are those who go above and beyond, bringing their Darwin to life in the form of fanart!  We showcase many of these talented artists every Friday with our in-game news carousel and on our social media, but we wanted to take the time today to celebrate a few more of these brilliant pieces. And if you want to show off your own creation, make your way to the game-art channel in our Discord and join in the fun.  First, we want to take you back to one of the first community fanart pieces we showcased on our socials. What if the world evolved in such a way that it became Lovecraftian? What foes would you face? Blabyblab certainly had an eye (or four) for the concept with this spooky critter sketch!Next up, we’re diving into the archives to one of the very first fanart pieces posted in our Discord server, way back during the second public playtest of Everything is Crab, before Darwin even had his name! This brilliant three-part piece, created by Crimdra, features their as-then-unnamed creature mutating and evolving based on the community's votes! That is one beautiful six pack. And finally, we have something a little bit different. Just after the game launched in May, Player_1 decided that they didn’t want to just bring their Darwin to life through art... But through the creative, physical medium of glass! Look at this little guy! So cute!  We hope that these pieces not only bring joy to you like they have us but also inspire you to create something yourself. If you like these amazing artworks, please let the artists know in our Discord!  Speaking of creating - watch this space, we’ll have some news on what we’ve been up to in the near future...  Check out Secret Mode channels for all the big news for Everything is Crab, and for extra insight from the devs, follow Odd Dreams Digital on X, Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, and join the Discord! Ca...
