Independently developed and published games are often overlooked or fail to achieve the recognition they may deserve due to the lack of marketing exposure that big-budgeted titles have. But of course, many phenomenalindependent games such asInscryptionhave been acclaimed for their surprising nuance, innovation, and art design.
Small indie games are commonly created by heartfelt developers for whom they are passion projects, or perhaps simply an experimental and explorative effort to see what kind of experience they can produce. Recently, a full-time indie developer’s latest upcoming game,Wrought Flesh, has been shown off further, demonstrating an influence fromPlayStation’s classic low-poly graphics.

“Miziziziz,” or Narayana Walters, has shared more details and footage of their independently developed game. Walters very briefly gives a genre synopsis forWrought Fleshas a “biopunk FPS RPG” before thoroughly explaining how they were able to achieve flowing hair physics forWrought Flesh’s protagonist character, insinuating that a third-person perspective mode may also be available in order for the player to see it. ButWrought Flesh’s most uniquely identifiable feature is the mechanic of taking deceased enemies' organs to equip them in the Gajeshian Cultist’s body.
Equipped organs provide stats respective to maximum health, health regeneration, speed, and even a stat dubbed “digestion.” This organ-equip feature shows both the dissected enemy cadaver and the player’s body on a menu screen where players then drag-and-drop the entrails and internal organs that they wish to furnish themselves with. Players then advance throughWrought Fleshand encounter diverse monsters and “drugged-up space bandits” as a “near-mythological being built from the bodies of long-dead saints.”
Walters proposes that “You kill things, eat corpses, equip organs but it’s all very low-res and low-poly” in a “mature content description” ofWrought Flesh, and this simplified summary of the game may be enough to win over any fans of dystopian, eccentric FPSs. Indeed, whileWrought Flesh’s RPG hooksounds fascinating itself, the game’s environments and enemy designs are superb and tease climactic boss battles with a Terraworm and other such fantastical creatures.
Walters' other indie titles includeInterSection,Theyest Thou, andStarPrey, which can all also be found on Steam.Wrought Fleshis set to launch soonon Steam, so any excited fans will not have to wait much longer to get their hands on this truly unique indie game next month.
Wrought Fleshis currently scheduled to release on December 10 for PC.
