Following the success of Mouthwashing, developer Wrong Organ wasn’t ready to make a better ‘story game,’ so it’s making a ‘gameplay game’ instead

Wrong Organ developers Jeffrey Tomec and Dave van Egdom are set to unveil their upcoming cooperative tank simulator, Carcass Clad, during the PC Gaming Show. This game represents a shift from their previous narrative-driven title, Mouthwashing. Tomec stated that the studio aims to explore gameplay-centric experiences rather than focusing solely on story. They are working on delivering a gameplay-rich experience with Carcass Clad, which they describe as the "just gameplay" game. The title does not have a release date yet but is available for wishlisting on Steam.
