We love to find unique and quirky games here at oprainfall. So when I heard that the team behind Nihilumbra and Megamagic, Beautifun Games, was working on a new title, I was intrigued. I rather enjoyed my time with Nihilumbra, and am more than willing to see what the talented team could cook up next. Turns out, that new game is none other than Professor Lupo and His Horrible Pets. Slated for release in 2018, it’s a distinct change of genre from Nihilumbra, and instead of being a puzzle platformer, it’s more of a top down puzzle-adventure game.
In Professor Lupo, you play a lowly intern on a massive spacestation who is the last line of defense between Earth and a horde of monstrously cute aliens. You must puzzle your way to victory and find a way to escape from the ruthless beasts, otherwise you’ll be nothing more than lunch.
I admit I’m intrigued by the premise of Professor Lupo and His Horrible Pets. If you are too, then you’ll be happy to hear it’s slated to release on PC, Mac, Linux and other platforms as well. If you are curious about the finer details, just read the official press release below, and stay tuned to oprainfall for more news about cool indies like Professor Lupo!
