The original impression of Skin Deep was that it was ‘Die Hard in space’. You’d spend time crawling around in vents, dust might make you sneeze and set off systemic chain reactions, you could cut your feet on broken glass - all good stuff. Three years of development can change a lot and I get less of that vibe from the trailer above. There’s sneezing, sure, but also a mech and a big shotgun.

These aren’t complaints. I love Blendo Games' style - from the colours they use, to the blocky character designs, to the obsessive detail on fantastic retro machinery - and all of the above is present here. I found Quadrilateral Cowboy’s puzzle designfrustrating, butThirty Flights Of Loving remains one of my favourite games. Plus, I love shotguns and mechs.

In short, I am excited Skin Deep has returned. It has no announced release date but you canwishlist it on Steam now.
