Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“On our last game, Ring of Pain, we enjoyed making content alongside our community and want to get you all involved in this project earlier!

Your input will help us prioritise what to focus on as we continue adding the final areas, narrative, tuning and other improvements.

For this game we're self-funding and self-publishing it, which means we can sell it to you for a cheaper price but we're also taking on a lot of risk! We'd love your support and good faith - please help us make the weirdest Winnie game possible and a compelling new roguelike.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our aim is to reach V1.0 within a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our vision for full release is to add more virus strains, mutations, perks, enemies, bosses, story beats, secrets, polish and quality of life improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game has all the core features in already.
You can play through 2 regions to completion, each branching off the core path with its own theming, enemies, special events and boss encounter.

5+ Unlockable Virus Strains with different play styles
50+ Research recipes to unlock new Perks and Mutations
100+ Perks to evolve your host with passive effects
150+ Mutations to learn new combat actions”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The current plan is to increase the price as we release major updates.

We really appreciate all purchases as they help fund our development, and want to reward early support with a lower price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'd love to hear your feedback in Steam discussions, Discord and other social media.

We also run community events where we make content inspired by community suggestions. It's a great hub for feedback, discussion and bug reporting.”

About This Game

Play as a virus in Winnie's body.

Capture cells to grow mutations and learn new actions.

Refine his primitive form, gain powerful passive effects and adapt for survival.

Explore randomly generated worlds by placing Virus blocks to spread through the body of your host.

Discover new cells and make gut decisions to direct the adventure.

Collect resources and unlock new abilities.

Evolve and modify your virus blocks to create more powerful combinations in battle.

Activate the brain of your host in dynamic turn-based battles, playing multiple actions in a single move. 

Each turn, your actions are dealt randomly to the Brain board. Place your block shapes strategically to activate powerful combinations. Adapt as you discover the limitations of your host... and how to overcome them.

Push the bounds of what your host can be. Together we survive.

  • Evolve with each run - Unlock new Perks, Mutations and Virus Strains.

  • Mutate your host as a symbiotic virus.

  • Bodybuilding in the worst way.

  • A storybook narrative which reimagines Winnie in a world of dark science.

  • A fresh take on exploration, replacing the typical roguelite node map with strategic, turn-based building using a set of tetromino-like virus blocks which you can evolve and reshape.

  • Dynamic battle system where each turn is an action combo for fast-paced gameplay.

  • Holesome horror comedy with gritty art inspired by old school Nickelodeon and Brothers' Grimm fairytales.
