Patch Notes

Release Date, Platforms, and Launch Facts Guide

By Nocti · Last updated

Everything is Crab launched on May 8, 2026. This page separates the original PC release and launch content from later updates.

Version details and scope

  1. The publisher’s May 8 announcement identifies Odd Dreams Digital as the developer and Secret Mode as the publisher, with Steam and Epic Games Store as the PC launch storefronts.
  2. The launch description groups evolutions and specialisations under the 125+ figure. It is not a count of base evolution cards alone.
  3. The same announcement describes over 200 starting combinations through genetic splicing, 20 Pressure levels and 12 challenges. These are launch-era figures, not a promise that later versions keep every total unchanged.
  4. For a purchase or installation today, open the platform guide and the relevant official store. A launch announcement cannot establish the current availability of later ports or services.

Official Counts and Fact Checks Guide

The reviewed public Steam page displayed 40 achievements; official Version 1.2 notes added eight. That announcement does not prove every public counter updated.

An August 16 player reported Bestiary progress of 54/55. The developer suggested Spinnerets: Egg Sac; official 1.2 notes say it hatches Darwee. This addresses that reported gap, not every later version’s total.

The launch figure of 125+ combines evolutions and specialisations. Base cards, branches and website pages are different counts. When totals differ, compare your installed version, category and named entries; keep achievement unlocks, creature discoveries and specialisations separate.
