Hi all,

I figured this thread might help show interest in having Cruelty Squad come to GOG :) Developed and released in 2021 by indie studio Consumer Softproducts, this "immersive power fantasy simulator with tactical stealth elements" - but let's just stick to the catchier "immersive sim" label - is a remarkable accomplishment that is both old school and ferociously relevant to the contemporary era.

Aesthetically, it's wild and purposefully going in the opposite direction of the "leet graphics" of AAA games. Which isn't to say it doesn't use the Godot engine well. The RPS review states that "Cruelty Squad is a maximum effort shitpost wearing a puke stained Rainbow Six t-shirt". From a gameplay perspective, some have gone so far as to describe it as a streamlined, faster-paced Deus Ex (referring to the original in that series).

You can look up the details elsewhere - I just want to hammer home the point that this game is really the kind of thing you'd expect on GOG, so I sure hope it will eventually find its way here, legally DRM-free.

Let's make some noise, people, and happy new year!

I just looked it up and... I have no idea what I just saw. The screenshots are so colourful that my eyes hurt.

Haha yeah first impressions are... WTF!

What an apt description.
Nothing I would play.

If you wanted to convince someone computer games were a mistake, this one seems like the right argument.

Cruelty Squad is a great game, the Pit Crew have nothing but praise for it, but it is not an easily introduced game. Kinda like Judero except with far less handcrafted art & Scottish myth.

I'd welcome any immersive sim here, but that said Cruelty Squad has had several threads asking for a GOG version and the devs didn't even bother to respond

So it's really up to GOG to bring it here

Interesting, I actually used the search function to check for other threads and no positive result was returned! A quick look at the overwhelmingly positive reception on Steam should at least signal to GOG the validity of bringing Cruelty Squad here...

I meant on the steam forums, a quick google search should give you the threads

copy that, thanks!
