Hypnohead, the developer behind ‘The King is Watching’, has announced a new PC strategy game titled ‘The Crab is Walking’. Published by tinyBuild, the title is described as a roguelite city-builder and autobattler set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Players will construct a capital city on the back of a massive creature, navigating a limited surface area where building placement functions like a spatial puzzle. The game features mechanics for merging and upgrading structures during a run to adapt to emerging challenges.

Gameplay involves selecting different combinations of creatures and riders, each offering distinct playstyles and strategic advantages. Combat is handled through an autobattler system involving over 100 unit types, requiring players to balance city infrastructure and production chains with military strength.
