A digital adaptation of a tabletop strategy game, set in an ocean ecosystem. You play trait cards to adapt creatures in turn-based matches against AI or other players, with real-time or asynchronous online play. The free version limits cards and daily multiplayer access; a one-time upgrade adds cards, scenarios, and unlimited online play.
