The premise, in the publisher's words
Cradle of the Dark Brood is a dark fantasy incremental breeding game about building power through inheritance, mutation, automation, and conquest. You begin as something trapped outside the rules of the world, able to act only through the creatures you create. Breed new offspring, preserve stronger bloodlines, cull weaker results, and shape your brood into a force capable of surviving beyond the cradle. Every generation can push your numbers higher. Improve core traits such as Lethality, Vitality, Durability, Motility, and Synapticity, then use those gains to unlock new systems, stronger roles, and more dangerous forms of progression.
