More about this game
In An egg, you are presented with an unformed specimen and a series of exactly ten cryptic questions. Your answers directly influence the anatomy of the creature growing inside, mapping to specific traits like skin color, limb types, and vocal sounds. The core loop involves carefully selecting preferences—from textures like glass or velvet to fears like deep water—without knowing exactly how they will manifest. Once all ten questions are answered, a 5.4-second hatching sequence begins. The run ends when the shell breaks, revealing your unique mutant archetype.
Tips
- Think about the physical implications of your answers, as they directly map to 10 distinct anatomical traits like skin color, eye shape, limbs, crown, and vocal sounds.
- Your tenth choice regarding what you offer the creature determines its temperament, resulting in an upright mimic, a low cautious scavenger, or a forward-canted predatory posture.
- The creature's final name is influenced by your temperament choice and your eye selection, generating titles like The Borrowed Witness or The Patient Hunger.
Questions
How many questions are there?
There are exactly 10 questions you must answer to complete the incubation process. Each question offers three distinct choices that permanently alter one aspect of the specimen's final anatomy.
Can I change my answers?
No, once you select an option, the choice is irreversible for that specific incubation run. You must finish the current 10-question sequence and hatch the egg before starting a new specimen.
What are the different mutant archetypes?
There are 10 base mutant archetypes in the library, including the Abyssal Crawler, Vigilant Stilt, and Sensory Larva. Your specific combination of answers determines which archetype forms inside the shell.
