Rustown Drops Combat for Stealth and Puzzles in a Post-Pandemic Slum
At BIC2026, Plotrick showed Rustown, a top-down action adventure where a girl searches for her missing father in a slum built by survivors of a virus that erodes intelligence. The player has no attack moves and must sneak, gather items, and solve puzzles. The studio removed combat because beating up marginalized people made the protagonist look like a villain.
