Digital Vortex has announced I Am Plague, an incremental roguelite from Greedy Games, for PC via Steam in 2027. The player is a hive mind born from a rat swarm in a fantasy city's underground, aiming for the surface. Combat is automated, so the work is building a mutation build. A playtest runs until October 19 with 50 floors and 40 mutation types, and Japanese is supported.
A playtest is running on the Steam store page until October 19, offering 50 dungeon floors and 40 mutation types, with Japanese supported. Combat runs on its own once a run starts, so the player's role is assembling mutations, chosen from three options on each floor or bought at shops, where certain combinations produce synergies. Death is not the end of progress: the Flesh Tree and Bone Tree carry permanent upgrades into later attempts, raising base stats and unlocking new mutations. The full release is planned for PC via Steam in 2027.
