Unofficial fan guide and build planner

Everything is Crab Wiki, Builds, Evolutions and Achievement Guide

A practical hub for players trying to survive as Darwin, read evolution synergies, plan safer starter builds, unlock Steam achievements, and escape carcinisation without turning every run into confused seafood.

Fact standard: Game facts are checked against the official Steam store, Steam Community announcements, Steam achievements, Secret Mode press posts, and community wiki pages. Route advice is clearly written as guide interpretation, not developer confirmation.

Build readability. Good routes look messy, but every body part should still have a job: damage, food, movement, defense, or control.

Player questions

What to read when a run goes sideways

Each section answers a real in-game problem: surviving the start, finding a build, understanding evolutions, or finishing achievements.

New run questions

How do I survive the first minutes? Which food is safe? When should I fight, flee, or scavenge?

Build questions

What does my creature still need: damage, movement, defense, food tempo, or ally control?

Evolution questions

Which body parts fit this route? When should I chase crab-form pieces or branch into a new role?

Completion questions

Which achievements need a special route, and which ones should wait until you know the bosses?
