New Whack'n'slash co-op action roguelite, Into the Unwell, revealed

Coffee Stain Publishing, known for Valheim and Deep Rock Galactic, has revealed their upcoming whack'n'slash co-op action roguelite, Into the Unwell.

Stockholm, Sweden. 7th June 2025 — Coffee Stain Publishing, the publisher behind award-winning indie titles including Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic, and Satisfactory have announced Into the Unwell, the debut title from independent Swedish studio She Was Such A Good Horse. Unveiled at Summer Games Fest, and set to launch on Steam Early Access soon, this co-op action roguelite invites players into a surreal cartoon world, offering an absurdist twist on the genre.

Into The Unwell puts a whack’n’slash twist on the action roguelite, where players take on the role of assorted offbeat outcasts. Playing alone or with up to a trio of friends, they'll need to use these characters’ vices to their advantage as they battle through a series of surreal roguelite levels.

Blending chaotic combat and platforming pandemonium with a twisted take on the 1930s rubber hose art style, players will find themselves in a cartoonish fever dream where they’ll encounter eccentric anthropomorphic enemies, and attempt boss fights as bizarre as they are belligerent. As players progress through mayhem, they can unlock new playable characters, upgrade an arsenal of unorthodox weapons in the Anvil, and collect Talent Stars to unleash peculiar powers.

Launching on Steam Early Access soon, Into the Unwell promises a delightfully despondent journey through the minds of misfits, where battling inner demons, wielding wacky weapons and embracing upheaval is all a part of the ride.

Into the Unwell is the first game from She Was Such A Good Horse, a studio composed of industry veterans with a penchant for the absurd. “It feels surreal to finally share Into the Unwell with the world,” said Mårten Stockhaus, Co-Founder of She Was Such A Good Horse. “This game is a celebration of our quirks, flaws, and the strange humor that keeps us going. The blend of platforming, action roguelite, and co-op gameplay reflects our vision of turning the absurd into something unique and enjoyable. We’re beyond excited for players to experience the madness with their friends.”
