Absurd, Brilliant Chaos of Skin Deep
Most immersive sims want to take themselves too seriously. Skin Deep is not one of those games. This can leave you barefoot on an abandoned spaceship with nothing but your brain and the strange ability to sneeze at all the wrong times. Think System Shock 2 having an affair with Jackass, and you won’t be far off.
Created by mad genius Blendo Games (the people who gave us Quadrilateral Cowboy), Skin Deep is the immersive sim with the chaotically straight needle. You’re not a super-soldier.- You’re literally insurance for when space pirates arrive and ruin the day, frozen in cryo.

Gameplay That Rewards Creative Insanity
1. The World Reacts to Your Bullshit
Kick a fire extinguisher into a group of pirates? Physics says yes.
Hack a door lock to trap enemies in a room with a malfunctioning oxygen system? Absolutely.
Distract guards by throwing a soda can… or just sneeze loudly? Both work.
2. Stealth Where All Matters
Barefoot movement: Step on glass? That’s a health penalty.
Sneeze mechanics: Hold it in or weaponize your allergies.
Environmental awareness: Every system can be hacked, broken, or turned against your enemies.
3. Emergent Storytelling at Its Finest
Here is the story of how it goes by what you do. Will you:
Be a silent ghost, never detected?
Go full psycho, flushing pirate heads down toilets?
Just… rescue all the cats? (Yes, that’s an option)

Last call to action: Here’s Why You Should Play This:
Skin Deep is one of those rare games that are preposterously fun and intriguingly deep. It respects your intelligence while leaving you to do the most stupid things possible. Emergent gameplay creates stories you’ll want to share right away, and the writing balances absurdist humor with honest, emotional moments.
