Coffee Stain Publishing Unveils Whack’n’Slash Co-op Action Roguelite "Into the Unwell"
In a recent announcement, Coffee Stain Publishing, the renowned publisher behind award-winning indie titles such as Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic, and Satisfactory, revealed their latest project: "Into the Unwell", a co-op action roguelite developed by independent Swedish studio She Was Such A Good Horse. According to a press release from My News Desk, the game was unveiled at Summer Games Fest and is set to launch on Steam Early Access soon.
"Into The Unwell" offers an absurdist twist on the action roguelite genre, where players take on the role of assorted offbeat outcasts, battling through surreal roguelite levels alone or with up to a trio of friends. As stated in the original press release, the game blends chaotic combat and platforming pandemonium with a twisted take on the 1930s rubber hose art style, featuring eccentric anthropomorphic enemies and bizarre boss fights.
As players progress through the game, they can unlock new playable characters, upgrade an arsenal of unorthodox weapons in the Anvil, and collect Talent Stars to unleash peculiar powers. The game promises a delightfully despondent journey through the minds of misfits, where battling inner demons, wielding wacky weapons, and embracing upheaval is all part of the ride.
According to Mårten Stockhaus, Co-Founder of She Was Such A Good Horse, "It feels surreal to finally share Into the Unwell with the world. This game is a celebration of our quirks, flaws, and the strange humor that keeps us going. The blend of platforming, action roguelite, and co-op gameplay reflects our vision of turning the absurd into something unique and enjoyable. We’re beyond excited for players to experience the madness with their friends."
