Headup and developers Simon Jakobsson and Aurora Punks have released the post-apocalyptic pixel art Action-Adventure game, Vessels of Decay, on various platforms. The game follows the story of Freja and Mud as they confront creatures of Scandinavian myth and folklore in a decaying civilization.

Vessels of Decay features a dynamic battle system, unique finishers, and epic multi-stage boss encounters. Players can choose how to execute combat and show their flair for combat with killer animations and flourishes. The game's handcrafted pixel world invites exploration, and when that leads to trouble, players can rely on the fast-paced combat system.

The game's unique feature is its Scandinavian setting, which combines the battered ruins of a once-modern society with the renewed growth of nature and the supernatural. Players can explore this uniquely Scandinavian setting through reflective melancholy, exploration, and fast-paced action.

Vessels of Decay is now available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, PS4/PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. The game promises to deliver a unique post-apocalyptic action-adventure experience with its dynamic combat system, handcrafted pixel world, and Scandinavian folklore-inspired creatures.
