Key information
Medium Rare is an upcoming dungeon crawler RPG inspired by Resident Evil that tasks players with rescuing their wife from an industrial human meat factory. Set in a world where global resources have vanished, the game features grid-based exploration and inventory management reminiscent of classic survival horror titles.
The combat system introduces a tactical twist by placing enemies on a three-by-three grid, where distance dictates damage output. Players must rely on dice rolls and careful weapon selection to survive encounters with infected enemies, while utilizing rare resting spaces to recover.
A standout feature is the game's visual style, which utilizes real stock photos processed through Photoshop. Artist Giovanni Fim employs a photobashing technique, heavily dithering images to create a gritty, sickly aesthetic that distinguishes the title from common indie tropes on Steam.
Fim emphasizes that this extreme, focused approach to art helps developers stand out in a crowded market. Interested players can currently access a demo on Steam, with the full game scheduled for release in 2027.
