Abe Lincoln dodged the bullet in goblinAmerica, a brain-mottling shooter set in a putrefying alternative USA
Surreal first-person shooter goblinAmerica has launched in early access. The game is set in a nightmarish alternative version of the United States, featuring grotesque and disturbing creature designs that define its world.
According to Rock Paper Shotgun’s preview, the game’s aesthetic embraces body horror and biological deformity. In the tutorial level, players encounter bizarrely malformed creatures, including a cherry tree described as rubbery and beige with tacky, lumpy fruit. Gameplay involves gunning down these abominable entities, with the reviewer finding satisfaction in their destruction while anticipating more disturbing encounters throughout the game.
The game positions itself as deliberately unsettling, leveraging surrealism and grotesque design as core artistic elements. The preview suggests combat is the primary interaction, though exact mechanics beyond shooting remain unclear from the available excerpt. goblinAmerica’s early access launch opens public access to this distinctive first-person shooter experience, defined by its commitment to creating a decaying, alien version of America populated by disturbing and unnatural creatures.
