About Genotype

In this Metroidvania FPS adventure, you explore an abandoned lab in Antarctica overrun by monstrous beasts. Print living creatures to use as weapons and survival tools, and take part in a fully voice-acted story as the facility’s sole survivor guides you through an alien ecosystem… but what role did he play in the research station’s downfall?

🔫 5 radically different weaponized creatures
💪 Diverse upgrade system giving you multiple play style options
🚧 Adrenaline-fueled combat spaces ready to test your mettle
👾 Unique enemies with fine-tuned behaviors and intense boss fights
🥵 Four difficulty settings
💰 Balanced loot amounts and ammo costs according to the chosen difficulty
🦾 Multiple accessibility options
📝 Fleshed out lore available to find within the facility
➕ Atmospheric synth-scapes, immersive voice acting, and much more

Morph into a tiny creature to go into narrow vents by using the Brainlink, or rip obstacles apart with the Grubber. The open world lets you move freely across interconnected maps. Open up new paths by unlocking new creatures to print or find new items.

Slay enemies, then upgrade your weaponized creatures and the gloves that wield them. When the alien ecosystem fights back, the weapon creatures you print with your gloves will determine your survival!

I don't understand why this game only have "positive" average review. I had a blast from start to finish. Unique and imaginative. A true hidden gem. It should have more positive reviews. What a shame.

Quite original & interesting game, but has major issue, when loading saves after couple of overwrites stops working, I've completed most of the game, then I've hit the brick wall of this issue, posted about it to discord of the devs like half a year ago, and nothing... last update of this game was in June 2024, and I would be really surprised if any update would come in the future, seems abandoned, Even tho it's a hidden gem, it's not worth it for the frustration.

This was a fun game. Definitely worth my time and money. The weapons were unique as were many of the game mechanics.
Recommended Feb 7, 2026
Solid recommend. May the algorithm favor it. It's roughly similar to playing a simpler version of Half-Life or Dead Space in VR. You explore around this abandoned underground arctic base where a grand scientific experiment has gone horribly wrong, unlocking more of the base and killing alien monsters along the way. I enjoyed the exploration. The combat was good enough, but it's pretty simple. There's some amount of resource management (health, ammo, consumables), but scarcity isn't really an issue on the default difficulty. There's some player-progression in finding new weapons, unlocking weapon modifications, and upgrading your suit with a few new abilities. The graphics, voice-acting, and general level of polish are all unexpectedly good, given that its an inexpensive VR game. The story is adequate, and isn't really the focus. The only caveats I have are that 1) it's a little short (~10 hours for me, but it was about the right length for this game), and 2) saving is done at specific locations, of which there are plenty, but you have to remember to use them or else you'll lose a moderate chunk of your time when you die (there's autosave too, but it doesn't save very ofte…

Hoping the Dev sees this and fixes the game. Saving takes a couple minutes at the check-in screens: you can't do anything until that process completes. Needs a fix. Index controller setting was never properly implemented: need to use SteamVR shared binding to fix. Otherwise if's a very solid adventure game and would be an easy thumbs up if only the Devs cared to fix the above.
