## What Is EvoluCell?

EvoluCell is a top-down action roguelike. You are an immune cell mutating on a microscopic battlefield—rendered in a **bio-horror** style of wet tissue, membranes, and microbes: grotesque but readable silhouettes with soft, painterly shading—not retro pixel art.

## Combat Loop: Shoot, Devour, Storm

- **Shoot** — pressure enemies from range until they enter a weak state
- **Devour** — consume weak targets for Gene and instant clears, but each gulp adds **Burden**
- **Inflammation Storm** — when Burden overflows, unleash a burst window: higher fire rate and scorching area damage—at the cost of no devouring and taking more damage

Every storm is a gamble: devour more to fuse faster, or hold back and control the field.

## Gene Library (Chapter 1)

Spend Gene earned in combat at intermission shops and install fragments into your library. In this demo you will unlock and fill the **early slots** of the gene system—enough to feel the build loop before the boss.

## Controls & Platform

- Keyboard and mouse
- Windows 10/11 64-bit
