Take control of a reanimated skull that’s received a second chance at life in Finish Line Games’ new Skully. This action-adventure platformer sees the titular character on a quest to stop a simmering war between feuding siblings.
Summoned by a local deity desperate for peace among his kin, Skully can sculpt new abilities from pools of magical clay found throughout the lush island he has washed up on. Gameplay in Skully’s debut trailer shows just a few ways the headstrong hero’s clay-boosted forms can open up new areas of the unpredictable landscape.
“We fell in love with the story and the madcap mechanics behind it,” said Shane Bierwith, EVP of global marketing at Modus Games.
“To say this game is unique is an understatement,” added Modus CEO Christina Seelye.
“We’re really excited to share Skully with the world,” said Daniel Posner, CEO of Finish Line Games. “We think a lot of people will connect with the game, and its heroic journey of a seemingly unimposing character destined to accomplish great things.”
