Nova Scotia-based indie game studio Cosmocat Games (@cosmocatgames) has announced their rogue-lite survival horror game TOXICANT will be launching in Steam Early Access on July 24, 2020.

TOXICANT offers a sinister twist on the survival horror genre, featuring randomized levels and roguelike elements:

• Traverse a series of increasingly difficult randomized levels, upgrading your stats and gear along the way;

• Use items like compasses, maps, beacons, and the MonPro 2000 to aid you in navigating the depths of the mines;

• Collect miner's notes and secret documents to learn the story of a conspiracy gone horribly wrong;

• Sample an assortment of nourishment and libations in your quest to survive: expired canned food, toxic mushrooms, rancid wine, and more;

• Salvage old mining equipment and use it as a weapon, or a shield!

Cosmocat Games is headed up by Adam "Snug" McLellan (@snugsound), a 20+ year veteran of IT turned independent game developer, musician and sound designer who’s released a wide range of games since 2014.
