Agony is Getting a Spin-Off Because We Haven't Suffered Enough

When Agony came out earlier this year, it sold itself on one premise alone: being gross. So gross, in fact, that the game had to be “censored” in order to avoid an AO rating. And while the final game certainly delivered on it, the gameplay itself was rather awful, and as many reviewers rightly pointed out, if you’re always surrounded on all sides by a bunch of gaping, maggot-infested anuses, you simply stop being shocked whenever you run into a maggot and/or anus.

But it must have sold well enough on the novelty alone, because now apparently we’re getting a spin-off set in the same world: Succubus, the action-oriented thriller absolutely nobody asked for.

With the disappearance of the legitimate rulers of Hell, the remaining demons recognized Nimrod as their ruler, because he was the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. By raising his new empire from the corpses of sinners, the new king, along with his new queen Succubus, managed to control the chaos left by the former rulers.

The new title didn't fit the Succubus. The life of luxury and walking on rugs sewn from the skins of martyrs was not for her though, and so she has chosen a life in the wilderness of Hell. During her travels, the new queen meets the powerful Baphomet who, together with his army, is going to get the soul of Nimrod. Captured, maimed and betrayed by her own species, the Succubus is left with only one goal that matters – revenge!

I’ll credit DSO Gaming this - they’re certainly committed to this world of theirs. And they have a respectable amount of support from fans on YouTube, so maybe I spoke too fast when I said nobody was asking for this. But unless they can fix all the crappy controls, cameras, and systems in the first game, then players who pick this bad boy up will be traversing a very different kind of hell.

There’s no release date yet, but it does have a Steam page.
