The Crawling Dead

Achievements
The Crawling Dead is a strategy simulation game where you take on the role of a lead scientist tasked with saving Stormveil National Park from ecological collapse. Swarms of invasive insects are devastating the park’s delicate ecosystems, and traditional methods of pest control have failed. Your solution? Genetically engineered parasitoid wasps. Harmless to humans, these beneficial wasps are killers of pest insects and utilize a variety of creepy strategies to manipulate and kill their hosts - turning them into The Crawling Dead! Design and deploy a variety of specialized wasps to target different invasive species, adapting to changing seasons, terrain types, and resistance patterns. From alpine meadows to desert canyons, each biome presents unique challenges and different pest insects that require careful planning and scientific precision. Create the most efficient and effective parasitoid wasps to save the national park and restore ecological harmony.
