During Gamescom on August 20th, Hungry Pixel revealed that NetherWorld will officially launch on September 12th for PC and Nintendo Switch
What is NetherWorld About?
I watched the release date trailer (linked down below) and NetherWorld is about a degenerate tentacled fellow by the name of Medoo. He’s currently going through a marriage crisis that spirals into a bizarre journey. I mean Medoo is fighting a boss with a chicken in the trailer. I’ve also never expected to see a character called Cokehead Mage, but that certainly helps set the tone for the game. It’s difficult to pin down the exact genre from the trailer, too – there’s a mix of top-down dungeon crawling, side-scrolling boss fights, and some wild-looking mini-games.
Key Features
- Narrative Mayhem – Help Medoo piece together his broken life through a twisted, alcohol-fueled journey full of depraved humor and outrageous encounters.
- Unhinged Minigames – Win items and money in drinking competitions, seedy encounters, shootouts, or while controlling Tick Joe in filthy roguelikish dungeons.
- Brutal Boss Battles – Face off against savage bosses with a wide array of weapons—or go in swinging with bare tentacles.
- Pixel Art with Bite – Explore a beautifully grotesque pixel world packed with shocking surprises and morally questionable choices.
- Depravity with Depth – Beneath the drugs, bullets, and vodka, NetherWorld explores real themes of loneliness, failure, and trying to put yourself back together.
A demo for NetherWorld is currently available on Steam. You can also Wishlist NetherWorld on Steam and the Nintendo Switch and get ready for its official release on September 12th.
