From the creators of the SteamWorld franchise—the action series that tells the tales of steam-driven robot adventures and that has garnered more than 100 awards and nominations—comes a completely new game, The Gunk. Embark on an all-new adventure in a vast and exotic world where you’ll encounter terrifying enemies and challenging puzzles on your quest to unravel the mystery of a forgotten planet, while saving it in the process.

  • Absorb the tainting gunk and use it.
  • Manipulate the environment and then craft what you find to your advantage.

  • Do they have access to gunk? Are they alone or in a pack? Can I use nearby objects—or can they be used against me?
  • As nature heals you get access to larger areas of the planet, and can unearth the story behind its demise.
