Rogue Games, the publisher of games like The Last Case of Benedict Fox and Highwater, has announced another title in its stable with Cookie Cutter – a weird and violent Metroidvania coming from developer Subcult Joint.
Billed as ‘techno-pop-punk’, this action-packed 2D game stars an android named Cherry who’s been infused with a mortal soul, and who the studio describes as “body and sex positive, punk rock as hell, and pissed.” Cherry’s mission to rescue her kidnapped creator/girlfriend will see her engage in hyper-violent combat against weird-as-hell enemies in a sprawling Metroidvania-style adventure full of puzzles, platforming and deep character progression.
“Cookie Cutter is a weird, wild, fun-as-hell ride of a Metroidvania. It’s got all the staples of the genre. A massive world. Loads of insane enemies and boss fights. A twisted narrative. And it’s freakin’ beautiful,” says Rogue CEO Matt Casamassina. “But it’s also got a heroine who defies video game conventions in the best of ways and it’s a title unabashedly made for older players.”
Cookie Cutter will also host a range of accessibility features, ensuring players of all capabilities can engage. Check out the gorgeous-looking trailer below:
Cookie Cutter is due for release in 2023 for PC.
