Publisher and developer DiniBoss has shared a new teaser trailer for Demon Spore, their new horror roguelike game that is shaping up nicely.
While Devolver Digital’s horror roguelike Carrion is like a game adaptation of John Carpenter’s The Thing, we’re seeing more similarities to The Blob with Demon Spore.
The game starts with a similar yet simple premise: you’re a scientist and a lab experiment goes horribly wrong. A bulbous and horrific creature erupts from the lab table, swallowing and assimilating everything in its path, and you must fight to survive.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Deep inside a genetic research laboratory, a tissue replication experiment has gone wrong and given birth to a viral mass of cells that is spreading out of control and evolving into a creature from hell.
As a scientist trapped inside with a few survivors, use your scientific experience to learn how the organism behaves, find it’s weaknesses and fight your way to safety.
