Indie Game Severed Still Coming this Year!

Severed is a brand new indie PS Vita exclusive that is coming soon……………

Sony showed the first-person at a preview event this month. Chris McQuinn, the designer of the game at DrinkBox Studios, the Toronto-based studio that also created titles such as Guacamelee and Mutant Blobs Attack!

You play a teen girl named Sasha who wakes up and looks in the mirror. She discovers that her arm has been severed, and so begins a quest to figure out why. The game is designed for the Vita’s unique controls, such as its D-pad (for movement) and the touchscreen for combat. You can swipe and sever off the arms of other creatures. You collect body parts in order to upgrade your equipment and abilities.

That’s creepy, alright. But the art is evokes the Mexican Day of the Dead.

“The style is a unique one for us, with Mexican Aztec influences,” McQuinn said.

Severed will be available later this year and will only be available on the PS Vita.
