Satisfy your appetite for destruction in this roguelite RPG shooter where you must eat to powerup your character, weapons, and abilities. Consume strange species to add new entries to DarwinCorp’s mysterious Compendium. Catalyze crafting fermentations in your belly by eating enemies! Explore three branching skill trees based on your diet - remember, you are what you eat!

The ultimate strategic mission of biological corporation DarwinCorp is to collect genetic material from every species in the galaxy, through research, experimentation, and force, if necessary. For particularly "involuntary" specimens, DarwinCorp brings in Chewie and Chewella, two mercenaries with razor-sharp skills and a hunger for success.

Unbeknownst to their employer, Chewie and Chewella collect genetic information by eating their targets, using bio-implants from their time on the blasted remains of Earth - a sign of their true heritage as half human, half Ghouls.

However, when a DarwinCorp executive sends Chewie and Chewella on a mission to Earth to collect samples from the mutated local population, the pair discover she may have destruction rather than collection in mind, and must decide to which end of the food chain their loyalties lie...
