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<\/strong> set to December 16. First announced last year<\/a> and developed by the same team as the SteamWorld series, The Gunk offers a new universe for the devs to explore and experiment.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
