See a description, via Headup:
Civilization has ended, and something else stirs in its place. From the world’s decay, ancient creatures thrash, rise, and roam the earth.
Vessels of Decay is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure following the story of Freja and Mud. In this retro-inspired tale, you’ll confront creatures of Scandinavian myth and folklore while exploring the ruins of the civilization they inhabit.
