Morph like in Metroid
In Genotype, an all-in indie production, you print organisms and use them as weapons and tools. You explore our Metroidvania FPS adventure and backtrack on large non-linear maps. Even morph yourself tiny, upgrade, and locate collectibles to advance to the next boss. All in an environment weaved together by careful design, story, combat, puzzles, and professional voice acting.

Go on: Help your friends, readers, and subscribers find it.

Genotype is available in the Meta Quest Store but will soon launch on Rift, Steam, and PSVR2. It will also receive localization for Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese, German, French, Italian, and Spanish.
