New Blip: Outbuddies

Outbuddies, from Julian Laufer, is a retro-style metroidvania. The game stars John, a marine biologist becomes shipwrecked and finds himself in a set of caverns 36,000 feet below the surface. Wounded and in search of a way back home, his only hope is a robotic companion that also acts as a life support system, and allows him to scout out the area around him. On his journey, he will discover a number of strange creatures, mysterious locales, and hostile enemies. As he gains new abilities, he is able to defeat stronger enemies, access new areas, and take down a number of huge bosses.

The game is due out for PC in Spring of 2018. A demo is available to download on the game's Kickstarter page.
