Cosmic Survival Horror Game ‘Rotten Flesh’ Launches January 22nd on Steam [Trailer]

Published

We won’t have to wait very long for Steelkrill Studio’s upcoming cosmic horror game Rotten Flesh, as the developers have announced a January 22nd release on Steam. Accompanying the announcement is a short but sweet trailer highlighting the basics of the game, all the while showing off the game’s throwback PS1 graphics.

In case you missed it, Rotten Flesh has you stuck in the sewers searching for your beloved dog, Roy. The main mechanic has you using your microphone to to call for Roy, though it’s totally optional. If Roy hears you, he’ll bark back a response.

However, you and Roy aren’t the only things in the sewer, and what’s down here isn’t exactly human. Not only will you need to be selective in your calling out for Roy, you’ll also need to be aware of things like broken glass, moving/knocking over objects and other movements that could make sounds, alerting whatever it is down in the sewer to your presence. If you do catch the attention of whatever creatures are down in the sewer, you can hide to evade them. Or if you’re unable to hide, you can make use of the weapons available to you, but they’re in short supply.

Rotten Flesh will launch into Early Access, with the goal for bug-fixing and the potential addition of new features, such as a new game mode.

We’ll be waiting a little while longer for developer Studio Cut to Bits’ gothic Metroidvania Venture to the Vile. Originally slated to launch on PC via Steam on May 7, the game has now been pushed a couple of weeks to May 22. The PlayStation release of Venture to the Vile is still expected later this year.

In a press release, Venture to the Vile producer Masao Kobayashi explains the decision to delay the release, stating that while Studio Cut to Bits is made up of industry veterans, this is the first time that the team has released a game as indie developers. As such, the team encountered a few hurdles leading up to the original release date.

“We all love Venture to the Vile and want to make sure we are delivering the best possible game we can for our players. For this reason, we have decided to delay our game by two weeks. I’m sorry to those who have been anticipating our game but I assure you it is going to be worth the wait.”

Venture to the Vile centres on the town of Rainybrook, where an unknown darkness is taking over, transforming anything and anyone it touches. Fortunately for you, you seem to be unaffected by this presence. However, your friend Ella is nowhere to be seen. You must brave the horrors and find her.
