Press release::
Watford, United Kingdom — August 29, 2024.
The Watford-based (the UK) independent video games publisher Wired Productions and Skövde-based (Sweden) indie games developer Angry Demon Studio (the creators of “Apsulov: End of Gods”), are today super thrilled and happy to announce that their ultraviolent skate-and-slash game “Gori: Cuddly Carnage“, is now available for PC (via Steam, GOG, and EGS) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) worldwide.

Fans have been waiting for this fur-midable indie game with its bold visuals, over the top arcade action and cat-tastic humour that’s sure to have players purring with excitement.

Step onto a futuristic version of Earth, drenched in neon and overrun by killer unicorns, terrifying jack-in-the-boxes and all manner of evil nightmares. The planet (and all of cat-kind) has only one chance at survival with a team of unlikely heroes: Gori, the cute yet extremely deadly ginger cat hero and F.R.A.N.K, the sentient hoverboard that is equipped with razor sharp blades whom Gori travels on and uses as a deadly weapon, are joined by the perennially depressed CH1-P. Together, they work to aid Gori who is grinding rails and tearing mutated unicorns to pieces with lethal combos.

“We’re excited to announce that our cat on a hoverboard is ready to hit the streets—Gori: Cuddly Carnage is launching today across all major platforms!” – said John Kalderon, co-founder of Angry Demon Studio.

“Imagine if a Death Metal band ran their tour bus into a toy store—that’s the chaotic, colourful, and adrenaline-pumping experience we’ve crafted. Our team has poured our hearts into creating this game which blends fast-paced hoverboarding action with intense combat in a world that’s as wild as it is fun. We hope you enjoy playing Gori as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it. Thank you for your support!’

“The Angry Demons have really nailed it, Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a true acid-fueled-action-packed-fun game.” – said Leo Zullo, Managing Director of Wired Productions.

”Five years of indie passion and high energy has gone into this kitty, and we’re so proud that we get to help get it into the hands of every fan to play. It’s a total trip and a true gem of an experience.”

Slay with style and battle the terrifying hordes of the Adorable Army (Toyz Inc. trademark pending), the destroyers of humanity and manufacturers of the most cursed toys since Sid from Toy Story. Players will unlock new skills and put them to the test as they wrack up high scores and see if they can beat the time of every level across this blood-soaked scene.

Speaking of blood, the squeamish might be wondering if Gori’s really their hero? Fear not! Players can toggle all the blood and gore within Gori: Cuddly Carnage and give these unconventional unicorns ‘purple juice’ instead of blood. Moreover, Nintendo players in Japan, China and S. Korea will be experiencing this alternative by default, so that Gori’s story can be played by any and all on their Switch.
