The Gunk

The Gunk is an action-adventure starring Rani, half of a duo of gritty space haulers scraping together a living. While hunting for valuable resources, the pair stumble onto an untouched planet brimming with life, what looks at first like the jackpot.

As they dig into the dormant secrets of a shattered civilization, they find the world cursed by a toxic gunk parasite, while tensions inside the crew slide toward festering mistrust. Rani's trusty Power Glove reverses the corruption, and clearing it lets nature regrow, transforming the landscape and reviving plant life that opens routes deeper into the ecosystem.

The narrative is woven tightly into exploration, with the two haulers in constant radio contact and Fiona Nova voicing Rani. You explore a lush jungle planet of damp caves and a bygone society, while soothing music and an evocative art style set the mood.
