About Crabbin' Crew

Welcome aboard!

You and up to 3 other employees have been selected for a rewarding opportunity in interplanetary offshore resource extraction! Your responsibilities include catching crab, operating company equipment, and ensuring the vessel remains functional at all times.

WORK TOGETHER

A functioning vessel needs a functioning crew. Coordinate roles across the ship to pilot through storms, operate deck machinery, haul traps, process catches, and keep critical systems online. One mistake can cost the entire haul.

CATCH EXOTIC SPECIES

Harvest valuable crab and deep-sea creatures from hostile planetary oceans. Different regions contain unique wildlife, environmental hazards, and increasingly unpredictable encounters.

SURVIVE THE UNKNOWN

Strange creatures stalk the fog, climb aboard the vessel, and interfere with operations. Please remain calm and continue working!

KEEP THE SHIP RUNNING

Repair damaged systems, restore power, extinguish fires, and survive equipment failures while the quota clock keeps ticking. The ocean does not stop because you are busy.
