Developer Studio Cut to Bits and publisher Aniplex have announced Venture to the Vile, an upcoming side-scrolling action-adventure game with an intriguing premise. The game is set in a Victorian-inspired world that’s being invaded by The Vile, a corrupting influence that grotesquely transforms everything it touches… including you. Placed in the role of a protagonist whose right arm has been infected by the corruption, players will have to journey across a dangerous land in search of their missing friend – that said, although the Vile grants the main character untold powers, it’s also gradually robbing him of his humanity, turning him into the very thing he’s fighting against. Here’s the announcement trailer:
