Indie publisher Vendetta just showed off a whole slate of its upcoming projects during the Golden Joystick Awards.
In a trailer that only seems to be chaotically cobbled-together for the first ten or eleven seconds, Vendetta takes us on a whistlestop tour of its games. After an intense array of clipart effects and MS Paint drawings, we kick off with The Mailroom. Described as a 'cozy job simulator', it does admittedly take place in Hell, which means that those cute vibes don't stick around for long.
After that it's Surf Punk, a co-op ARPG set in a solarpunk-style sunken world, but showing off the kind of isometric stylings that the genre is known for. Staying isometric, the next game on the list is Nevers End, a pixel-art turn-based strategy RPG that takes place in a fantasy world with battles playing out on a multi-level grid.
Next up is some good old-fashioned friendslop, as Killing Things With Your Friends promises to do exactly what its title suggests. There'll be the dispatching of waves of enemies, and the inevitable accidental (maybe) dispatching of your co-op partners as well. Unfortunately, that's just a fact of life, as anyone who's played Peak will tell you.
Clerks & Quirks is a management simulation that looks like a mash-up between Moonlighter's magical item shop and Overcooked's iconic co-op chaos. The twist here is that the appliances in your store come to life, and appear to cause you plenty of problems as they do so. Finally, there's Acting Out, an improvisation game where you control the characters acting out scenes in front of the camera - just make sure not to flub your lines too badly.
That's a lot of games to cover in 50 seconds, so don't worry if you missed anything - there should be plenty of time to catch up ahead of all of those individual launches. In the meantime, Vendetta says none of its partners condoned this particular trailer, so don't be surprised if things change a little bit.
