SLUDGELAND

Sludgeland Blueprint v0.1

The Essence of Sludgeland

Sludgeland is a serene, ecological management game where players reclaim corrupted environments and attract strange creatures by restoring balance to decayed biomes.

🐾

Creature Discovery

Creatures respond dynamically to the world, not commands.

🌎

Ecosystem Management

Players shape terrain to attract and sustain creatures.

🌿

Atmospheric Reclamation

Environmental storytelling through restoration, not conquest.

Attract & Observe

Bring life back by drawing in strange, biome-bound creatures. The environment you shape determines which species appear, how they behave, and whether they stay.

🌱

Before: Silence

🐾

After: Emergence

  • Creatures respond to terrain health and diversity.
  • Place “stations” to meet creature needs.
  • Watch as creatures arrive and influence the world.
  • Different biomes attract unique, tiered species.
