A Game Boy has no room for a bestiary screen. So we deleted it, and made the creature itself the readout.

Every creature in ANATOMIST is drawn from its own stats, on the cartridge, at runtime:

• Horns — attack
• Carapace plating — defence
• Limb count — speed
• Eyes — how far it can see you

So you never read a stat block. You look at the thing and you already know whether to fight it. 8,640 distinct creatures, none of them stored as art — the ROM holds the rules that draw them.

It is a real .gb cartridge: 32 KB, correct header, boots on original hardware and every emulator we could find.

Free browser demo on the page (play it before you decide) — full cartridge is $4.99.
