What is Crabmeat?

Crabmeat is a first-person point-and-click survival horror game set in Antarctic waters, where an indebted prisoner must meet a seven-day crabbing quota to avoid exile with their family. You operate a boat alone, baiting, placing, hauling, and emptying traps while maintaining the vessel and defending it from sea creatures.
