Indie developer Rasul Mono and publisher GameNet have announced their brand-new title The Guise releasing next month on Steam. The Guise is a dark Metroidvania fairy tale that will release exclusively on PC on October 20, 2020. A free demo of The Guise is currently available on Steam for free and you can download it right now to get a small taste of the full game.
In The Guise, you play as Odgen, an orphan who disobeys his headmistress and sneaks into a locked room. Upon entering the locked room, he gives in to the temptation and puts on a cursed mask that makes him a monster. As a monster, Odgen now has a new body with new monstrous abilities but he must try not to lose the very last bit of his humanity left.
With the new body and abilities, you will need to take advantage of bestial agility, monstrous strength, and inhuman capabilities. You will be required to use these abilities to survive in a world where everything is out to get you. Check out the new gameplay trailer for The Guise below:
Key features of The Guise include:
- Explore A Twisted Fairy Tale – The world of The Guise is filled with terrifying locations, including dying villages, dark forests, labyrinthine dungeons, and deadly valleys swarming with demons. Find secrets, hidden passageways, and concealed rooms containing treasures that shed new light on Ogden’s world.
- Take Advantage Of Your New Form – The main gameplay hook is your persistent monstrous form. As a human, you could have fought with a sword or any other weapon, but now you have only your newfound feral abilities to rely on.
- Evolve – Unlock new monstrous abilities by defeating bosses and absorbing their skills. Every time you vanquish an ordinary foe, you collect their eyeballs — local currency that can be spent to upgrade your abilities with the Eye Collector.
- Seek The Light In The Darkness – The macabre world of The Guise may be harsh and unjust, but there are still a few people you can count on – for example, children whose eyes remain unsullied, whose perception of the world has yet to be touched by the darkness. Or the Eye Collector, who keenly senses the pain and despair of this boy trapped in the body of a monster.
