I’m really at a loss of words here, NetherWorld is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Luckily the game just came out on Kickstarter—together with a press release—so I can say a bit more.
The tagline is Sex, Drugs, and Pixels adventure game, but it’s the squid-like black characters that faze me even more than the bouncing breasts. Right off the start of the Kickstarter video, your (squid) wife blows cigarette smoke into your face and abandons you. I’m not sure if it’s the drugs, but somehow you end up in very fucked up surreal situations thereafter. You’ll mostly fight unique bosses (think Shadow of the Colossus) leaving the rest of the game focused on conversations and building relationships with NPCs. I’m not going to pretend I have any idea how this will play out, so I’ll just buy myself a front row seat to see where this goes.
Pixels on the project are being handled by Isabel ‘Erien’ Armentero with Daniel Barrenoís taking care of the rest. Check out the Kickstarter video to become even more confused and snap the early bird price of $6 while it lasts.
