‘Whack ‘n’ slash’ co-op roguelite action game Into the Unwell announced for PC

by

Coffee Stain Publishing and game developer She Was Such A Good Horse have unveiled their upcoming project, titled “Into The Unwell“. This “whack ‘n’ slash” cooperative roguelite action game is set to debut in Early Access on PC via Steam. Interested gamers can now sign up for the closed beta test through the game’s Steam page.

Marten Stockhaus, co-founder of She Was Such A Good Horse, expressed a sense of unreality in announcing the release of “Into The Unwell“. According to him, this game is a tribute to our idiosyncrasies, imperfections, and the offbeat humor that helps us persevere. The combination of platforming, action roguelike mechanics, and cooperative play encapsulates their concept of transforming the bizarre into something special and entertaining. They’re thrilled for players to join them in the chaos and have fun with friends.

Here is an overview of the game, via Coffee Stain Publishing:

About

Explore a world made of rubber hoses either solo or with a maximum of two companions as you familiarize yourself with its peculiar inhabitants, assist them, and maybe even improve your own state of mind. Begin your spiritual journey to master self-control and achieve triumph through your weaknesses while embracing disorder in The Unwell. Throughout your adventure, you’ll come across eccentric bosses, intriguing characters, and dreamlike landscapes in this cartoonish, delirious action roguelike game.

Chaotic Combat for the Chronically Incurable

Delight in the setbacks, bravely navigate the malady known as The Unwell, and engage its warped denizens armed with one of four peculiar weapons such as an oversized ice cream cone or a pacified lollipop – each boasting distinct benefits to aid you on your journey.

Progressing in “The Unwell” allows you to unveil additional playable characters and gather Talent Stars, which can be used to enhance both your character and weapon abilities, infusing them with unique powers in readiness for the impending showdown with the final boss.

Misery Loves Company with Three-Person Multiplayer

Opt for a solo journey or join an uncertain quest with a nightmarish support group in a 3-player online cooperative mode, to boost your odds of overcoming your internal struggles.

If the thought of collaborating with friends to tackle challenges and adversaries while addressing personal weaknesses appeals to you, don’t forget to add Into The Unwell to your wish list.
