About the 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.
