The Blob-inspired horror roguelike game Demon Spore is nightmare fuel (original) (raw)
Publisher and developer DiniBoss has shared a new teaser trailer for Demon Spore, their new horror roguelike game that is shaping up nicely.
While Devolver Digital’s horror roguelike Carrionis like a game adaptation of John Carpenter’s The Thing, we’re seeing more similarities to The Blob with Demon Spore.
The game starts with a similar yet simple premise: you’re a scientist and a lab experiment goes horribly wrong. A bulbous and horrific creature erupts from the lab table, swallowing and assimilating everything in its path, and you must fight to survive.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Deep inside a genetic research laboratory, a tissue replication experiment has gone wrong and given birth to a viral mass of cells that is spreading out of control and evolving into a creature from hell.
As a scientist trapped inside with a few survivors, use your scientific experience to learn how the organism behaves, find it’s weaknesses and fight your way to safety.
Features

- SURVIVOR TEAM – Every room has new surprises and tough choices – risk a dangerous encounter to grab new gear? Save a scientist or cut your losses and run to the exit? Rescue and protect lab personnel so they can create new technology to improve your chances of survival.
- RESOURCEFUL CARNAGE – Use any lab tools you can find to slice through the creature’s tentacles, target its weak spots and stunt the growth. Cobble together experimental weaponry and repurpose lab equipment to improvise your way to safety in an ever changing environment.
