About Lameguards

THE CAVE HAS OTHER PLANS

A researcher enters a cave for a quick research trip and finds herself in the middle of an unexpected chain of events. Trapped in a cave full of powerful, aggressive critters — but with survival on the line, there's a plan.

1. CAPTURE

The most pathetic critters in the cave are your only shot. They may be dull looking but hard to capture.

2. USE THE BACKPACK

Shape your critters' genetics with the Merge, Train, and Mutate features on your backpack.

3. MANIPULATE THEIR EMOTIONS

These critters have emotions, and they're wide open to manipulation. Getting captured can upset them — but the right actions can make them happy and boost their performance, or you can anger them and turn that against your enemies.
