Sludge Life is free on Steam because Sludge Life 2 is coming later this year appeared on www.pcgamer.com by Andy Chalk.
Sludge Life is a “vandalism and photography sim (opens in new tab)” that launched on the Epic Games Store in 2020 and then came to Steam a year later. It’s a weird but oddly compelling first-person open world game about the drudgeries of existence, filled with lowbrow humor (a cat with two buttholes, “press F to fart,” that sort of thing) and also a surprising amount to see and do given the relatively small size of its setting.
Developers Terri Vellman and Doseone, whose past collaborations include the also-weird-but-good shooters Heavy Bullets (opens in new tab) and High Hell (opens in new tab), recently announced that a sequel is on the way, and while there’s no obvious direct connection to that bit of news, it’s probably not a coincidence that the first game is now free, for a limited time, on Steam (opens in new tab).
Sludge Life 2 promises “a bigger, weirder, gnarlier open world loaded with secrets, weirdos, jokes and, of course, plenty of spots to tag.” There’s an important mission to undertake, too: The rapping frog Big Mud has gone missing, and it falls to you, his closest homie Ghost, to track him down. The game will have three times as many NPCs to deal with as the original Sludge Life, and new items including Double Js that enable double-jumps and high-speed sprints, and a Portable Launcher so you can fire yourself into the air, if that strikes you as a good idea for some reason.
There will also be a bunch of new music in Sludge Life 2, including five new tracks from Big Mud: “Explore the island, find the hidden master tapes and bless your headphones with fresh beats and rhymes from the most amphibious rapper in the game.”
Sludge Life obviously isn’t the easiest game in the world to pigeonhole, but Chris seemed to like it quite a bit when he gave it a go in 2022 (opens in new tab).
“On nearly every ledge, building, and billboard you scale, you’ll find some oddball character to talk to. Some are depressed, some are angry, some insult you (and some then apologize for it), almost all of them are funny, and most are just plain weird—but weird in a way that makes perfect sense for the world they inhabit,” he wrote. “Even after I’ve sprayed all my tags and completed every activity, I won’t consider myself done with Sludge Life until I’m sure I’ve talked to every character in the game.”
The original Sludge Life is free on Steam until March 30 or “while supplies last.” There’s no shelf to see what the stock situation is like, so grab it while you can, I guess. Sludge Life 2 is expected to be out later this year on Ste (opens in new tab)am, GOG (opens in new tab), and the Epic Games Store—you can wishlist or find out more about what’s going on at the appropriately strange shopsludgelife.com (opens in new tab).
