The Gunk is Out Now on Steam

Publisher Thunderful recently announced that its space-exploration adventure game, The Gunk, is out now for PC players via Steam. The publisher released a new accolades trailer to celebrate the launch highlighting the game’s features. Additionally, Thunderful announced that the game’s PC version will include the newly added photo mode with features like post-processing photo editing options, including the ability to adjust the depth of field, exposure, field of view, and add filters like “noir,” “sepia,” “cartoon,” and more. The PC version will also support multiple languages, including Brazilian, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.

The game’s full details via Thunderful can be seen below:

In The Gunk, you take on the role of Rani, one half of a space-hauling duo that stumbles across a seemingly barren planet infested with a strange undiscovered substance they call “the gunk”. Rani and her partner Becks wonder if their days of scrapping for resources to make ends meet might be at an end with this unusual discovery. But there are other pertinent questions to answer: what exactly is the gunk? How did it get here? What kind of world existed prior to its arrival? And what happened to the ancient civilization that’s left only ruins behind?

The Gunk has a big emphasis on exploration with a wondrous and diverse alien world to discover featuring biomes ranging from rocky canyons, to dense jungles, to deep subterranean caves (this is the team behind SteamWorld after all) and a few more surprises. The gunk is turning all of these zones barren, but as you remove it using Rani’s upgradable goo-sucking power-glove, you’ll discover a flourishing ecosystem seemingly suppressed by this mysterious and destructive gunk.

The Gunk first launched for Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Microsoft Store on December 16, 2021.
