About Unnatural Selection

Unnatural Selection presents a scenario where a rogue geneticist has unleashed engineered monsters across multiple islands. The player assumes the role of a scientist tasked with reclaiming this territory.

This is achieved by developing a superior biological force in a laboratory setting. The core activity involves breeding creatures, with the goal of enhancing traits such as speed, intelligence, and aggression. The player can analyze specimens, pair them for reproduction, and even induce random genetic changes through controlled exposure to radiation.

The objective is to outpace and overpower the existing hostile creatures by creating offspring that are more effective and can proliferate rapidly. Success depends on managing these genetic processes to establish dominance across the island chain.
