DESCRIPTION
Join Winnie on a new adventure, from within!
Play a virus exploring his body and mind. Capture cells to mutate, evolve and survive in a world of dark science and medical malpractise.

A body horror comedy roguelite that reimagines the world of A.A. Milne’s classic Winnie with the grit of a Brother’s Grimm story, and the charm of a Nickelodeon cartoon.

HISTORY
Winnie’s Hole is the second game from Australian indie micro studio Twice Different, following the success of their genre-blending roguelike card crawler, Ring of Pain.

FEATURES
– Play a virus exploring Winnie the Pooh at a cellular level, capturing cells to mutate and evolve him for survival.

– Another genre-blending dark roguelite from Twice Different, the team who made the card crawler, Ring of Pain.

– Holesome Horror Comedy, contrasting a naive, wholesome character against a virus whose sole goal is survival, and sees Winnie as incapable and defenseless.

– Charming characters which are loosely inspired by A.A. Milne’s classic Winnie the Pooh.

– A subversion of public domain content which is elevated beyond a gimmick, with surprising depth and innovative mechanics.

– A dark comedy story which reimagines the universe of Winnie with the vibe of a Brother’s Grimm fairytale produced by Nickelodeon.

– ‘Bodybuilding’ turn-based roguelite in the body and mind of your host.

– Define your run through an exploration system that’s discarded the typical roguelite node map navigation and replaced it with a strategic and satisfying turn-based tetronimo-like ‘virus block’ placement that spreads a virus through the body of your host.

– Deckbuilder combat which connects seemlessly with exploration, using your virus blocks to activate action combos in a fresh, dynamic battle system.
