EAT PANT Announces Shared Custody, Co-Op Demon Babysitting Game For PC
EAT PANT is following its split-screen co-op 3D platformer Teeto with a larger cooperative premise, building the studio's identity around games designed to be played together.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
EAT PANT announced Shared Custody on September 26. The cooperative action-adventure supports 1 to 4 players who act as temporary guardians of Sprog, the heir to hell's throne, and must deliver it to the Unholy Gates. Players respond to Sprog's demands and manage a BURNOUT meter that builds from damage and from carrying Sprog. The supported platform is PC via Steam.
Shared Custody hands a group of players one shared responsibility rather than one shared enemy. They escort Sprog, hell's heir, across a world that mixes set areas with partly procedural generation, answering requests that range from being held to being entertained to a demand for a sacrifice. A BURNOUT system means carrying Sprog and taking hits both wear a player down, slowing movement and climbing. The Steam store page lists planned Japanese in-game text.
