Become a modern Dr. Frankenstein with Creature Lab and raise an army of mutants in this unique genre mash-up of simulator, horror, and humor.
Warsaw, 06.14.23 – Creature Lab, a long-awaited mad scientist simulator from a Polish developer and publisher Image Power, arrives on Steam today at 3 PM CEST / 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. In the game, players will have an occasion to become modern-day Dr. Frankenstein and raise an army of mutants against a city full of people that shunned and mocked their scientific advancements. The game will be also available in several attractive bundles, including the other games from the developer, as well as the productions of Madmind Studio and Polylash.
Creature Lab is a very important step in our growth as a development studio. It’s based on a unique, already well-received idea and, in our opinion, delivers on its promise of providing an experience of being a true mad scientist in retro horror style – said Marcin Zalenski, CEO of Image Power. – Creature Lab certainly shows the direction we want to go as creators. We want to offer original ideas that provide a never-seen-before spin on popular gameplay formulas.
After its PC debut, Creature Lab will be ported to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Establish your hideout and let the experiments commence! Conduct crazy experiments, mix mutagens, analyze their properties, grow DNA-based body parts, and attach them to your test subjects. Manage your inventory, expand your lab, and make sure your hideout is safe. Send your sick creations into the city to obtain necessary salvage and test new subjects!
