Lead 7 distinct animal civilizations in this bio-historical city builder. Master the "Serendipitous Overlap" of biology and history—from Otterman canals to Bearvarian brewing. With a roadmap of 42 species, manage metabolism, sensory warfare, and dynastic politics in a world that fights back.
BUILD THE BIOLOGICAL DYNASTY Critterra is a Bio-Historical City Builder where civilization is defined by the collision of human history and animal biology. (Biology defines economy) You don't just build a city; you manage the metabolic and evolutionary imperatives of your species.
THE FOUNDATIONAL SEVEN Launch into Early Access with 7 distinct civilizations, each with unique biomes and mechanics:
The Otterman Empire: Master hydraulic engineering and coffee trade in the wetlands.
The Bearvarians: Deep forest brewers who rely on fermentation and hibernation cycles.
The Catztec Empire: Vertical jungle architects fueled by solar tribute.
The Mongrel Khanate: Nomadic logistics experts who move their cities with the seasons.
The Mink Dynasty: Masters of rice paddies and water management.
The Nor-Steeds: Coastal raiders who leverage fjord economies.
The Babylions: Builders of hanging gardens and complex law codes.
[/p]
EVOLUTIONARY GAMEPLAY
Serendipitous Overlap: Mechanics are derived from biological reality. A "Spaniel" faction isn't just a dog in a helmet—it utilizes the "Flushing Instinct" for stealth detection.
Metabolic Economics: Your citizens are not static units. They are homeostatic organisms that require thermal regulation, hydration, and specific sensory inputs to survive.
The Infinite Roadmap: Critterra is built to scale. Our design bible includes 35 additional civilizations arriving in 5 planned expansions, introducing mechanics like Systemic Warfare (Croco-nile) and Dynastic Genetics (Habs-badgers).
