The upcoming release of the game comes at the heels of an agreement entered into by developers Simon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks and publisher Headup where the latter is publishing the game.

He added that the various features of the game ensure that it offers "a truly special experience" and excited for players to be part of its haunting world.

Vessels of Decay offers post-apocalyptic action-adventure that follows the story of Freja and Mud. This retro-inspired tale has players confront creatures of Scandinavian myth and folklore and explore the ruins of the civilization they inhabit. Features include:

• Dynamic Battle System: How players execute combat and how their enemies perish is all entirely up to them.

• Unique Finishers: Every new enemy is a new opportunity for players to show their flair for combat as they stagger enemies foes to set them up for killer animations and flourishes.

• Epic Multi-Stage Boss Encounters: The beasts of Scandinavian folklore aren’t something that allow themselves to be put down easily so players have to use their wits and reflexes to pursue and slay them.

• Explore A Beautiful World of Pixels, Death, and Decay: The game features an entirely handcrafted world, with care and thought poured into each and every scene, story beat, and environment.
• A Scandinavian Take on Classic Action-Adventure: The battered ruins of a once-modern society clash with the renewed growth of nature and the supernatural. Explore a uniquely Scandinavian setting through reflective melancholy, exploration, and fast-paced action.
