Target Acquired: Deadbolt

Hopoo Games, the developers behind the excellent (and super tough) Risk of Rain, have returned with Deadbolt, a game where you play as the Reaper, blasting undead creatures in the face in order to prevent an uprising. The player must infiltrate a number of facilities, and he can opt to go the stealth route or guns-a-blazin as he moves from floor to floor. The environment plays a key role as players can move through ventilation systems to get the drop on their foes, or duck behind furniture and pop up to take shots at baddies. The player has access to melee weapons, handguns, shotguns, and machine guns, allowing him to leave behind huge sprays of blood on the surrounding walls, and he can also take out light sources and pick locks.

The game just came out on PC via Steam today.
