Oh bother! The virus has returned in the refreshed and expanded demo for the roguelite Winnie’s Hole the viral dungeon crawling roguelite. Yes, it’s a name you can make many crude jokes about but I’ll try not to.
What exactly is it? You control a virus inside poor Winnie. Explore cells and influence Winnie’s adventure as you spread a virus through his randomly generated innards. And, enter Winnie’s brain for combo-driven combat and watch as Winnie mutates over time into something horrific. It’s definitely different, I’ll give ’em that.
There’s a new trailer too:
For the upgraded demo they’ve included new mutations and perks, level generation improvements, an overhaul of the progression, controller support, improved visuals and much more.
Game Features:
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.
I was quite impressed with the previous version of the demo, so I look forward to getting back into Winnie’s Hole.
