Become a mad scientist!

Conduct crazy experiments, mix mutagens, breed abominable creatures, and attach monstrous body parts to them. Manage your inventory, expand your lab, and make sure your hideout is safe. Send your creations into the city to obtain the necessary salvage and test...

In Creature Lab you are literally mad. As mad as only a mad scientist can be. Years of research, years of publications… all for nothing. Your groundbreaking results did not impress anyone. So, yeah, you ended up as mad scientists usually end up - alone, full of disappointment and anger. Completely ignored by others, you decide to make them listen, to make them pay.

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.

Developer Image Power kas launched a Kickstarter campaign to gather additional funds ($7,312) for expanding Creature Lab.

The primary goal of the campaign is gathering resources to port the game to PlayStation and Xbox family consoles, as well as Nintendo Switch.

Thanks to the backing of Kickstarter users, Image Power intends to prepare the Console Edition of the game, and in case the next stretch goals will be met, localize the game to further 12 languages, create a unique soundtrack, and expand the in-game content for PC and console players alike. Among additional content, they have planned an AI-controlled companion for the players named Igor, additional limbs for customization and base mutant types, and even a turn-based simplified combat system.

“We have put lots of work and creative energy into Creature Lab. I’m sure that on 19th January the game will deliver a truly unique experience for PC players awaiting their arrival. Our push towards supplying the users of every popular platform, so also consoles, with our production comes from the fact that we believe in its high quality” – said Piotr Figarski, vice president. - “With Creature Lab taking its final form, we have gathered a lot of very good ideas, which are beyond our budget. I count on the appeal of those ideas to our fans and I hope the success of our Kickstarter campaign will allow us to proceed with at least some of them.”
