The Abbattoir Intergrade

About

The Abbattoir Intergrade casts you as a colony leader on a distant planet struggling to contain a crisis of your own making. Manage defensive structures to hold back genetically twisted creatures while navigating dialogue choices that shape the story. Each turn blends tactical placement with narrative decisions that influence outcomes. The sci-fi setting focuses on survival as malfunctioning terraforming tech turns livestock into aggressors. Players balance immediate defense needs with long-term solutions across multiple outposts. What sets it apart is the AI that adapts to your strategies in real time. It analyzes how you counter attacks and adjusts enemy behavior based on terrain features and creature traits. Four endings emerge from your leadership choices without overt branching paths. Released in 2018 by Cabrill Games, it offers a niche mix of strategy depth and narrative consequence. The system requirements remain compatible with older PCs despite its forward-thinking mechanics.

Storyline

The year is 2238, and you are assuming the role of Shepherd Cartalia of the colony X1407, a human colony on the habitable planet B382 founded in 2148. Earth is 20 light years away and has largely been abandoned after the climate became erratic, quickly alternating between extreme high and low temperatures. At the start of your expedition your colony was outfitted with the latest terraforming package provided by the Human Federation. This package includes an AI module that modifies livestock DNA to generate edible lifeforms that area ideal to the planet conditions allowing you to focus efforts on terraforming and construction. Your settlement progress has been spectacular, and although you're nearing retirement, you've managed to expand the colony from its meager initial size of 100 adult citizens in a valley, to over 1,000 residents of all ages spread over several outposts during your tenure. Unfortunately, the 'Sustenance and Nutrient Generator' you were given seems to be malfunctioning, as the animals being created have recently exhibited violent behaviour and are now chasing down your people as they flee to the founding settlement. You need to set up defenses to slow the tide of violent animals, while you begin a search for a lasting solution.
