Hello Guardians, Today marks the start of the[b] Cozy and Family-Friendly Game Festival[/b] on Steam. This festival features a wide variety of games that aim to create a cozy atmosphere. As part of the festival, Crab God offers players the opportunity to enjoy the game by employing strategic thinking or by taking a more relaxed approach! [h2]Crafting the Cozy Atmosphere[/h2] One of our primary focuses in Crab God was to develop characters that players would love and care for - [b]the Crablings[/b]! These cute, endearing creatures come with [b]customizable names and personality traits[/b], allowing players to form a bond with each one. Watching them grow and thrive in a beautiful underwater world creates a sense of attachment and warmth.

This creates an inviting [b]environment[/b] that players want to return to time and again.

The gameplay revolves around [b]taking care of nature[/b] and improving the environment. Players can grow plants and corals to create beautiful aquascapes, fostering a sense of accomplishment and wonder as they see their underwater gardens flourish.

They will also discover fun facts about various sea creatures, helping build a sense of wonder with our real-world. [h2]Inspirations from other Cozy Games[/h2] We drew inspiration from many games, with Viva Piñata being one of our favorite cozy games. This game involves building a garden and attracting cute creatures, and inspired the discovery and requirements systems of Crab God. The three co-founders of Chaos Theory have fond memories of playing Viva Piñata together in high school, and this isn't the first time we used elements from it in our games.

We hope that players will love their Crablings, find joy in creating beautiful underwater worlds, and feel inspired by the positive messages woven throughout the game.
