Vessels of Decay is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game that follows the story of Freja and Mud. In this retro-inspired game, players will face creatures from Scandinavian myth and folklore and explore the ruins of the civilisation they inhabit. The game features a dynamic combat system with unique finishers and multi-level boss encounters. A public playtest is available on Steam.

Simon Jakobsson: "I'm incredibly excited to be working with Headup to finally bring this project to completion. After years of hard work, it's almost unreal seeing it all come together. Knowing that so many people have been following this journey over the years makes this even more special. And to finally be able to share this game with the players and see how they react to the world of Vessels of Decay is truly a dream come true."

Aurora Punks is based in Stockholm. They have worked as co-developers on titles such as Ready or Not, ARK: Survival, Ghost Signal and Backpack Hero. They have also developed and published their own games, including Block'Em!, Hooja and Chenso Club.
