Publisher Slug Disco Studios and solo developer Paul Hervé are pleased to debut the announcement trailer for Adapt, scored by Louie Taylor, alongside the game’s key art, illustrated beautifully by São Paulo based artist Júlia d’Oliveira.
Developed independently by Berlin-based Hervé, Adapt is a survival evolution game designed to simulate the constantly changing environments life must navigate to thrive.
To succeed, your species will need to find food using a multitude of dietary strategies, seek out habitable environments, and react to changing seasons, and global climate. Your competitors will evolve alongside you, vying for food and territory to ensure their own survival. The real question is not if you can survive, but for how long.
