Blendo Games who previously made Flotilla, Quadrilateral Cowboy, Thirty Flights of Loving and Atom Zombie Smasher have a brand new release coming on April 30 with Skin Deep. It will come with full Steam Deck support.

The developer made various previous games code open source like Flotilla, Quadrilateral Cowboy and Thirty Flights of Loving. They're a big fan of open source, with Skin Deep using dhewm, a Doom 3 GPL source port.

What is Skin Deep? An immersive first-person shooter about sneaking, subverting, and sabotaging. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and apparently have no shoes. Here you work for some insurance corp, who freeze you and hide you on cargo ships to deal with space pirates. Sounds like fun!

On Steam, the developer put up a big announcement for their Steam Deck support. It has also been rated Steam Deck Verified by Valve. The game will have proper specific Steam Deck controller icons, Steam Cloud saving support and more.

I tried the demo during the last Next Fest (it's still up, too, which is good). Good stuff.

OK, the phrase "insurance commando" piqued my interest, and the rest of the trailer convinced me to download the demo. I'm not sure what I just watched, but I'm definitely curious.

It does look interesting. I won't get it because I go far beyond abysmal at that kind of game, but in theory I like it.
