Medium Rare combines dungeon RPG mechanics with survival horror and resource management, a genre fusion that could appeal to fans of both styles.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Developer Payne Robinson, Peter Tinaglia, and publisher ExeCo announced Medium Rare, a turn-based survival horror game blending dungeon exploration RPG with Resident Evil-style horror. Set in a world where cannibalism is industrialized, players explore a grid-based map, manage resources, and use dice-based combat. It is scheduled for Steam release in 2027.
The announcement positions Medium Rare as a turn-based horror game where grid-based exploration meets inventory management. Players decide whether to push forward or return to base while managing limited items and upgrading weapons.
The story follows a protagonist entering the mountains to rescue a wife taken to the world's leading human meat processing plant, ExeCo. Cannibals, infected, and mutated animals populate the setting, where cannibalism has become industrialized due to depleted resources.
Combat relies on weapon synergies and dice rolls to build combos. The Steam store page currently lists English as the only supported language.
