This week, developer Twice Different announced that their viral roguelite title ‘Winnie’s Hole’ will be launching on PC via Steam’s Early Access programme on 26 January. Explore this creepy variant of the lovable bear’s cells and influence Winnie’s adventure from the inside out as you use tetromino shapes to spread a virus through his body. Infection is progression.
We’ve covered this one before in one of our Steam Next Fest articles (next one’s soon!) and that very demo is still available for your perusal. Have a gander below for more details on Winnie’s Hole.
Key Features
- Bodybuilding in the worst way – Mutate Winnie as a symbiotic virus.
- Reimagining of A.A. Milne’s classic characters in a world of dark science and medical malpractise.
- An anti-cosy antidote – Cute animal friends discovering the horrors of increasingly parasitic viruses.
- Break the limits of your host in randomly generated roguelike runs.
- Explore cellular worlds with tetromino-like block shapes – No roguelite node maps, explore by spreading a virus through the body of your host.
- Combo-driven combat – Semi-auto battling within the brain of your host, using a single block shape to perform multiple actions at once.
- Genre-hybrid innovations – More strategic input than an autobattler, faster turns than a typical deckbuilder.
- Collect cells and make gut decisions – Influence the adventure with accessible turn-based gameplay.
- Evolve and unlock new virus types, strains, and mutations – Extract samples to research as you delve into uncharted biomes.
- ‘Holesome’ dark comedy with the grit of Brothers Grimm fairytales and humour of Nickelodeon cartoons – Embrace discomfort in a story of judgement and self-acceptance.
