Reviews
Most survival games start you as a person. The Undergrowth starts you as a bug, and asks you to claw your way up an entire food chain full of other players.
Why it stands out
The insect life-cycle premise is a fresh hook, and the promise of droughts forcing predators and prey together points to genuinely emergent drama. Betrayal is not a bug here; it is the design.
What we are watching for
MMO scope is the risk. Balancing an ecosystem that is also a living player economy is hard, and server health will make or break the fantasy.
Early verdict
Ambitious and unlike anything else in the survival space. If the ecosystem holds together, this could be special.
