'twas the night before Christmas, and all through the oil rig... something was certainly stirring!

As we wind down for a well-deserved break, we'd like to thank everyone for their support on spooky city-builder Fangtopia! Check out the blog, and we'll have more to share in 2026! 🦇 store.steampowered.com/news/...

Make Way... for Christmas, because there's only a couple more days to go!

We’re throwing about some new evolutions in Everything is Crab’s latest playtest! 🦀 Today’s focus is Stoner: a ranged attack which uses stones as ammo! Pair this with the Cheek Pouch Specialisation of Storage, and you’ll be shooting stones at anyone who crosses your path!

Miss Santa-Claws is here to wish you a very Crabby- I mean Happy Holidays! 🦀❄️

Need some last-minute gift inspiration for the North Sea oil rig workers in your life? We're sure they'll be having a calm and peaceful Christmastime... right?! #StillWakesTheDeep

Your support for A Storied Life: Tabitha over the past few months has blown us away, so as 2025 comes to a close, we thought we'd take a look back, reflect, and say a massive thank you! 💖 Read the blog 👇 store.steampowered.com/news/...

The Steam Winter Sale has arrived and there's something for everyone! Save up to 80% on a ton of Secret Mode games, whether you crave the horror of Escape the Backrooms & Still Wakes The Deep or the cosy goodness of Loddlenaut & A Little to the Left! store.steampowered.com/publi...

Streaming Schedule for this week (all times EST, UTC-5) Saturday, December 20, 2025 10:00 AM Gonna check out some Everything Is Crab thanks to a key provided by Secret Mode! @wearesecretmode.com #ad

Join Secret Mode's Social & Community Lead Chris and Game Director Jacob to talk all things NUTMEG! - from changes in development to how the community has shaped the Retro Football Management Game via the VIP Playtest Program! ⚽👇 youtu.be/S-16RCEGqQ0

Everything is Crab’s second playtest brings with it many new things, including new evolutions!🦀 One of these is Whining: when you take damage, there's a chance that nearby enemies will be charmed, and the enemy that caused the damage is twice as likely to be charmed!

Whether it's tidying up or enjoying your festive decorations, cats certainly make things a bit more... challenging. But we wouldn't have them any other way!
