DrinkBox Studios is busy prepping its Super Turbo Championship Edition re-release of Guacamelee for consoles, but that hasn’t stopped the Canadian developer from delivering a reveal of its next game, Severed. It’s a gesture-based first-person dungeon crawler that looks like a wildly stylized descendant of Wizardry.
Heck yeah.
There’s no mention of target platforms yet, but DrinkBox is planning to get this out out by spring 2015. The game features non-linear play, light RPG elements, and a soundtrack from Yamantaka // Sonic Titan. The target launch price is listed as “$1 million (or TBD)” in the fact sheet, though we’re going offer the bold speculation that it’s going to come down a bit from that number before the eventual release. (Actually, we’re told it’s a joke. The game’s only going to cost $250,000. A bargain.)
You’ll eventually be able to find out more on the official Severed website, but it’s just logo at the moment. Check out the game’s concept trailer below and thumb through an assortment of screens at the top of the page.

The hook is familiar, your choices matter, people notice, and consequences linger. The difference is scale. This is a fully open world take, with townsfolk on routines who respond to what you do, even when you think no one’s watching. It’s still chasing that mix of heroics, petty crime, and dry British humor, only with modern action RPG muscle.

Wonder game, the Talking Flower is exactly what its name suggests: a potted flower that speaks around twice per hour, delivering lines like "Sometimes it's nice to space out" or "Bowser and his buds can't get us here, right?"
