Drinkbox Studios has returned with a new title called CongressmanA 3D metroidvania that promises to bring the concept of generational memory to some strange and convincing places. He will have a solo or cooperative story that sees players fight for a world full of monsters and secrets as they try to control the force that corrupts them. And maybe eating some brain. The game was announced during the Summer Game Fest Fest stream.
The team describes Congressman As a “Psychedeelic Western Nightmare”, which is almost exactly what I like to see from Drinkbox’s studies. This company is probably best known for the excellent 2D platforms Guacamelee! and Guacamelee! 2But don’t sleep in the surreal dungeon Crush either of the two. Drinkbox games have a powerful sense of site and intelligent action mechanics, so I’m very curious to see how they will bring these sensitivities in this genre.
