Play it if you…
Good fit- First-person shooter fans who want stealth and sabotage alongside combat
- Science-fiction fans interested in starship settings and space-piracy scenarios
- Players who prefer non-linear environments over a strictly linear route
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly directed shooter may find the non-linear starship structure less suitable
- Players wanting evenly matched firefights may not suit a game built around being outnumbered and outgunned
- Players looking for a conventional military setting may not fit the corporate insurance and space-piracy premise
Our take on Skin Deep
The non-linear starship and emphasis on stealth give up the direct structure of a conventional shooter. Being outnumbered and outgunned also limits the role of straightforward firefights, favoring covert action and sabotage instead.
What is Skin Deep?
Skin Deep is a first-person shooter set aboard a vast, non-linear starship.
An insurance operative is thawed from storage after space pirates board the vessel and trigger its silent alarm. The game centers on stalking through the ship, sneaking, subverting, and sabotaging to survive. The operative faces superior numbers and firepower, along with hazards such as sneezing and objects becoming stuck in the feet. Its setting combines corporate cargo protection, space piracy, and a stellar sandbox.
