Get ready to enter Winnie's Hole when it arrives January 26

Infection is progression in Winnie's Hole. The roguelite is set to enter Early Access on January 26, and judging by the previous demo it's going to be good.

Yes, this is the actual Winnie-the-Pooh from children's stories since it entered public domain back in 2022 in the US, although it's still protected in the UK until January 2027.

Winnie's Hole is viral roguelite not in the sense of it hitting it big by a YouTuber, but in the way that you progress as you explore Winnie's cells inside their body and spread a virus. It's a bit of a gruesome idea and poor old pooh, look at what they've done to you. Great idea for a game though. Capture cells to mutate, explore randomised cellular worlds, and build a deck of actions to unleash in combo-driven combat, from the creators of the popular Ring of Pain.

Game Highlights:

• Bodybuilding in the worst way - Mutate Winnie as a symbiotic virus.

• Evolve and unlock new virus types, strains, and mutations - Extract samples to research as you delve into uncharted biomes.
• ‘Holesome’ dark comedy with the grit of Brothers Grimm fairytales and humour of Nickelodeon cartoons - Embrace discomfort in a story of judgement and self-acceptance.
