NetherWorld, the depraved pixel art action-adventure from Hungry Pixel, is finally preparing to drag players into its unhinged depths. Announced during the Future Games Show at Gamescom, the game will officially launch on September 12 for PC and Nintendo Switch.
This booze-soaked, bullet-riddled fever dream follows Medoo, a down-and-out antihero whose life spirals out of control in spectacularly grotesque fashion. What begins with a marriage crisis devolves into a chaotic narrative adventure full of heartbreak, jellyfish-fueled mischief, and questionable life choices. Along the way, players will face savage boss fights, bizarre roguelike dungeon runs, and a cast of deranged characters that are as easy to hate as they are impossible to forget.
A free demo is now live on Steam and the Nintendo eShop, and pre-orders for the physical Nintendo Switch edition are available. Fans eager to see what depravity awaits can also check out the latest gameplay trailer online.
Key Features of NetherWorld:
- Narrative Mayhem: Medoo’s alcohol-fueled odyssey mixes twisted humor with raw emotion as he tries to rebuild his shattered life.
- Unhinged Minigames: Win (or lose) items and dignity in shady drinking competitions, seedy shootouts, and roguelike dungeon runs starring Tick Joe.
- Brutal Boss Battles: Wield an arsenal of weapons—or just your own tentacles—against grotesque and relentless foes.
- Pixel Art with Bite: A beautifully grim and shocking world brought to life with expressive, grotesque pixel visuals.
- Depravity with Depth: Beneath the bullets and vodka lies an exploration of loneliness, failure, and redemption.
Whether you’re gambling your dignity away, exploring bizarre dungeons, or facing off against nightmare creatures, NetherWorld promises a delirious mix of sleaze, style, and strangely heartfelt storytelling.
Mark your calendars for its September 12 release and get ready to dive headfirst into Medoo’s twisted world.
