Eggomon

Capture monsters, gather resources, and try not to get bred by the things you're trying to catch. Every run is played through a scout, and if she's impregnated by a wild monster, she's gone for good.

The loop runs on permanent loss rather than power fantasy. Each scout is a life; once she's claimed, she's out, and the run only truly ends when every scout has been taken. Between lives you spend earned exp to push your starting strength further, so failure still carries something forward.

Combat isn't about grinding levels. Food and medicine keep your team functional, and every fight burns through both, so battling is a calculated risk rather than routine busywork. New starting locations and scouts rotate in over time, letting returning players land in fresh zones and face monsters they haven't already cleared instead of replaying the same opening stretch. The monster roster keeps growing in area-sized chunks, most recently an ant-tribe hive with its own set of new species, on top of new moves added to keep fights from going stale.
