This game is a first-person sci-fi shooter that differs from the typical dramatic space operas or realistic, precision-based games in its genre.<\/p>\n<h2>Game Overview<\/h2>\n<p><em>Skin Deep<\/em> takes place on a futuristic cargo starship managed by an insurance corporation. The ship is filled with valuable items, and players take on the role of a cryogenically frozen security officer who is thawed out when space pirates ambush the ship. The game involves shooting, sneaking, sabotaging, and smelling, all presented in Blendo&#8217;s signature blocky 3D style.<\/p>\n<h2>Unique Features<\/h2>\n<p>The game features a mix of puzzles, comedy, and action scenes, including a sneeze mechanic and a stink system. Players become stinky in situations that make sense narratively, such as being expelled from the ship&#8217;s trash shoot, and their smell clouds subside once they figure out how to wash up. Sneezing follows a similar in-game logic, with players&#8217; sneezy air level increasing when crawling through dusty vents.<\/p>\n<h2>Development and Inspiration<\/h2>\n<p><em>Skin Deep<\/em> is the most action-focused game that Blendo has ever made. The independent studio, led by Brendon Chung, has a lineup of award-winning titles, including <em>Quadrilateral Cowboy<\/em>, <em>Gravity Bone<\/em>, and <em>Thirty Flights of Loving<\/em>. Chung got his start in game development by customizing levels in <em>Doom<\/em>, <em>Quake<\/em>, <em>Half-Life<\/em>, <em>Quake 2<\/em>, and <em>Doom 3<\/em> when he was a kid, and FPS games are often what he&#8217;s drawn to as a player.<\/p>\n<h2>Release and Demo<\/h2>\n<p><em>Skin Deep<\/em> is published by Annapurna Interactive and is heading to Steam on April 30. A new demo is live now on Steam, as part of the Steam Next Fest, which runs from February 24 at 1PM ET to March 3 at 1PM ET, showcasing fresh game demos and developer insights on the storefront.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Information<\/h2>\n<p>For more information on <em>Skin Deep<\/em>, players can check out the game&#8217;s FAQ page, which provides updates on the game&#8217;s development and answers to frequently asked questions. With its unique blend of action, puzzles, and humor, <em>Skin Deep<\/em> is set to be a standout game in its genre.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/gaming\/pc\/blendo-games-oddball-sci-fi-shooter-skin-deep-hits-pc-on-april-30-173010803.html?src=rss\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Skin Deep Blendo Games is set to release its latest game, Skin Deep, on Steam on April 30, after nearly seven years of development.
