'Creature Lab' New PC Release Date Set For Later This Month, Consoles to Follow - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on June 1, 2023 @ 11:09 a.m. PDT

Creature Lab is a crazy first-person simulation game that lets you become a mad scientist in search of the ultimate mutagen!

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.


Image Power announced that Creature Lab will arrive on Steam on June 14th, 2023

Delayed from its original January launch date to allow developers to remove technical issues, Creature Lab now hit the gold status and is ready for release.

After its PC debut, Creature Lab will also be ported to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.

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!
