17 itemsAbout the Game
Caught in the mulching churn of a frontier world, Fennel, a devil flung far from home, cuts out a living from the cities and towns at the edge of the earth.
Master a suite of unique combat and movement techniques through use of your forked tail. Lose your way in the slithering guts of the colonial undercarriage. Make wealth out of misery.
Brush Burial: Gutter World is an immersive sim with sanguine and spirited systemic gameplay. You may accomplish your goals as you see fit. All combat is avoidable; to show mercy or malice is your decision.
Features:
Tightly designed and interconnected levels with numerous paths to the objective, full of hostile or friendly NPCs who react to crimes like stealing, trespassing, and murder.
Fast paced, instantaneous combat that is simple but robust, encouraging the use of improvised or stolen weapons, environmental objects, and a unique hand-to-hand takedown system.
Dozens of unique cosmetics to be unlocked through gameplay challenges, as well as progression through the game's levels.
One 'Greater Contract' and Three 'Lesser Contracts' to complete. Four levels in total, built to be replayed.
