Gloop — Pre-Alpha Vertical Slice

PRE-ALPHA VERTICAL SLICE / PROOF OF CONCEPT
This is an unfinished systems demonstration, not a finished game.

Gloop is a living-alchemy tactical puzzle prototype about a strange organism that absorbs matter, changes Temper, splits, recombines, and helps a vulnerable Hero cross dangerous Origins.
