- AMA Questions and Answers! 🦀 - 9 July 2026
Hey Crabbies! 🦀On July 3rd, we streamed an AMA on our Discord, answering questions you players submitted throughout the week! Below is a list of the questions and answers from that stream. If you don't feel like reading, or just prefer to listen, we also recorded the stream and have it posted to view on the Secret Mode YouTube: Now, let's get into the thick of it. Answering questions, we have Denis: Game Director, Ivan: Art Director, Julia: Programmer, and Mido: Community Manager. Q: Why Crabs? Answer:Denis: because of the amazing theory of carsinisation. In case you're not familiar with it, the theory of carsinisation is that eventually everything evolves into a crab. It may be half meme, half science, but there are organisms that are not from the crab family that ended up developing crab-like features. So it was a great fit for an evolution theme where organisms around you end up evo…
