Blendo Games, the developer of promising sci-fi FPS Skin Deep, has secured Annapurna Interactive’s involvement as the title’s publisher. The company is renowned for signing partnerships with hit indie games, which generally prove to be worth players’ attention.

One of the upcoming indie projects which has benefited from Annapurna Interactive’s publishing expertise, Twelve Minutes, was pushed back into 2021 last November, as it was not able to meet the initial release schedule. That’s a bit disappointing considering that the promising interactive thriller hosts a number of talented Hollywood actors including James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe. Currently, the game doesn’t have a release date, but it's promised to come out sometime this year. In addition, two other titles, The Artful Escape and Last Stop, have also been pushed back to 2021.

The intriguing sci-fi FPS Skin Deep, which is being developed by small independent studio Blendo Games, has recently become another new acquisition by indie publisher Annapurna Interactive. The company has shared the news on Twitter, along with a new trailer for the game. Skin Deep and its developer Blendo are officially joining Annapurna’s impressive portfolio of indie titles, many of which have received critical acclaim. It appears that Blendo Games’ currently-in-development shooter might be the next big indie hit, considering all the cool gameplay features implemented so far. The game, which is an action-packed non-linear adventure on a large starship, offers an incredibly interactive experience. For instance, the protagonist can unintentionally alarm enemies by sneezing because of dust, or injure their feet while crawling over pieces of broken glass.

Besides publishing creative indie titles, Annapurna Interactive is regularly hosting enticing sales to reach a wider audience. By offering reasonable discounts, the company allows a bigger number of gamers to enjoy remarkable interactive experiences developed by talented independent teams. For instance, last August, the publisher held a generous summer sale for Nintendo Switch owners offering such acclaimed indie hits as Ashen, Gorogoa, and Florence at discounted prices.

This official partnership between Blendo Games and Annapurna Interactive is the best indicator that the studio’s shooter Skin Deep is worth watching. The publisher is known for recognizing the ingenuity of such brilliant indie titles as Journey, Outer Wilds, and Gone Home, which implies that the latest acquisition has the opportunity to earn recognition as one of the greats. Judging by the gameplay footage, that’s almost a certainty.
