Thunderful Games recently announced a host of game premieres and announcements at its Thunderful World event, one of the most intriguing of which is the release date of The Gunk set to December 16. First announced last year and developed by the same team as the SteamWorld series, The Gunk offers a new universe for the devs to explore and experiment.
The Gunk centers around two space haulers, Rani and Becks, as they land on a strange planet full of valuable resources they hope to exploit. But they also find the titular gunk choking the life out of the planet and are faced with a “moral dilemma” in the process.
Also released with the first details of the game is a trailer that shows off the alien world players will be exploring. The lush and vibrant gunk-free environments clash with the gunk itself, which it shows being sucked up in a special vacuum-like device in the gameplay portions of the trailer.
