Press release:
Gothenburg, Sweden – March 7th, 2022.
The free new Photo Mode for Thunderful’s sci-fi exploration title with a unique gunk-sucking mechanic, aptly titled “The Gunk“, is out today.

This new mode puts a powerful suite of photography tools in players’ hands to help them capture stunning shots of the game’s lush alien world.

Called “stunning” by Rock, Paper, Shotgun and praised for its “impressive” leveraging of Unreal Engine 4 by Digital Foundry, praise for The Gunk’s visuals have been a common thread among players and critics alike. This new photo mode is a perfect way of delving deeper into the incredible vistas the game offers and empowering player creativity to offer a jaw-dropping new perspective on The Gunk’s enticing environment of alien fauna and flora.

The new Photo Mode includes a host of editing possibilities. Your post-processing photo editing options include the ability to adjust depth of field, exposure, field of view, add filters like “noir”, “sepia” and “cartoon”, and more. The mode also allows you to adjust the pose of protagonist Rani and even change her facial expressions to add personality to your snaps and perfectly match the tone you are aiming for with each snap you take.

For any fans out there planning to share their shots from The Gunk on social media, Thunderful would love to see what the community is cooking up by tagging in @Thunderfulgames and using the hashtag #TheGunkPhotoMode so they can retweet their incredible creations!

The Photo Mode update brings with it a number of features and fixes to improve The Gunk based on feedback from the community. These include improved resolution settings, with 4K monitors now supported better than ever before, the ability to disable motion blur, quality of life changes such as a setting to automatically enter aim mode and mouse control improvements.

The Gunk is currently available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via the Xbox Games Store and is free for Game Pass subscribers. The Gunk will be making its way to other PC storefronts very soon.
