Blendo Games, creators of Quadrilateral Cowboy, has released a unique immersive sim-inspired first-person shooter called Skin Deep. The game takes a different approach to action and stealth gameplay, focusing on absurd and creative solutions to combat rather than traditional gunfights. Players control Nina Pasadena, a secret operative working for an intergalactic insurance company, as she navigates derelict space cruisers and saves cube-headed talking cats from space pirates.
The game’s engine, ported from id Tech 4, allows for novel interactions with the environment and enemies, such as using objects like soap dispensers and banana peels to take down opponents. The game also features a “sneezing” mechanic that can disable enemies, adding a new layer of strategy to combat.
While the demo only offers a taste of what’s to come, it showcases the game’s potential for replayability and creativity. With its offbeat humor, colorful style, and emphasis on improvised solutions, Skin Deep has the makings of a brilliant sandbox experience. The full game launches on April 30, but based on the demo, it’s clear that Blendo Games is onto something special.
Skin Deep aims to defy expectations with its unique blend of absurdity and strategy, making it a must-see for fans of immersive sim games and those looking for something new and exciting.
