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?

“Because we have more BRINE to show you! We want BRINE to be an extensive experience rich in level design, enemies and encounters. BRINE's development has and always will be a player-first iterative process. By doing an episodic release we are mirroring the release schedules of old-school shooter releases such as the original DOOM with the added benefit of a player shaped experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“BRINE will leave early access and be considered "complete" upon the release of the third and final episode which we currently estimate to be out within the next three to four years.”

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

“BRINE as a complete product is planned to be 30 levels across three episodes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes Episode 1, which consists of 10 levels. Specific mechanics and features present within the current release can be found within the "About this game" section below.”

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

“We plan to raise the price when we leave early access. The price will not increase throughout early access at all. Get in early and save some pennies.”

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

“All feedback on BRINE as a product will be taken into consideration and shape the development of the project as a whole. To make sure your voice is heard, please provide feedback through our Discord, or on Steam. Prior to this Steam page BRINE was built on player driven feedback through real life testing and our community.”

About This Game

Something smells fishy in Cornwall. A mutated, violent uprising of local seafood has surged from the depths, claiming the coast for themselves. At the centre of the storm stands a single, disgruntled fisherman.

BRINE is a visceral, fast-paced boomer shooter that combines retro-fps tropes with Cornwall, England's weird and wacky older brother.

The ocean’s bounty is fighting back, and they are relentless. Fight your way through waves of crustacean cultists and piscine horrors in a quest to reclaim the South-West. Circle-strafe, kick, and blast your way through the horde, painting the quaint seaside towns red with the viscera of your enemies.

Forget standard-issue military hardware. In BRINE, you fight with what you find. Unload devastation with an arsenal that is as unconventional as it is deadly. Pin enemy heads with a nail gun, unload pirate buckshot to clear crowds, or get up close and personal to humiliate your foes by literally battering them with a portable deep-fryer. The world is their your oyster.

Explore sprawling, quintessentially Cornish environments rendered in glorious retro style. From foggy harbours to sprawling castles, every level is hand-crafted to maximize player agency and exploration. We’ve kept the resolution low, but the action high.

BRINE may work on old industry pipelines but that doesn't mean we're stuck in the past. We’ve gutted the clunky bits and kept the soul. Featuring Full Controller Support and Steam Deck compatibility, as well as various accessibility options.
