This coming spring, IGGYMOB's first-person shooter ODDRooM will launch in Early Access.

Fans of creative, diverse, and quirky FPS games will love the blend of retro and modern elements.

The dreamlike setting offers limitless possibilities, throwing players into impossible scenarios where they face creatures ranging from terrifying to downright hilarious.

It's a refreshing break from the typically serious and grim shooter genre.

Your Dream - Your Story

On January 9, the first official trailer for ODDRooM dropped, showcasing its promising potential.

Step into a dream world filled with retro elements, graffiti, and vibrant colors, which can swiftly shift into a dark and eerie nightmare.

Along the way, you’ll encounter a mix of creepy and downright bizarre enemies, each presenting their own unique challenge. Expect to face Kung Fu-fighting bodybuilders with smiley faces bearing the word "PEACE," creepy dolls, or snake-like alien creatures.

ODDRooM will keep you on your toes with its surprising enemy designs. In this dream, the possibilities are endless.

Combat requires precision shooting as you dodge enemy attacks.

You’ll run along walls, perform double jumps, and glide through environments with agility.

But these are just a few of the platforming elements that make this colorful FPS-Shooter stand out.

The game offers dynamic, fast-paced movement that adds an extra layer of polish and significantly boosts the fun factor.

Animations are rendered in a humorous comic style, there is no blood splatter. Instead, words like "BANG" and "KILL" pop up, making the game accessible for younger audiences.

A Story Full Of Surprises - And A Cat?

At the start, you encounter a cat-like creature in a mysterious mansion. Behind each door lies a new dream for players to navigate.

Lucid dream sequences set the stage for fantastical and often comical encounters, allowing developers to craft scenes that wouldn't work elsewhere.

A small team of four developers at IGGYMOB, known as Team ODD, is behind this FPS.

In an interview with Gamerant, they discussed the game’s development:

According to the team, ODDRooM is rooted in the concept of lucid dreaming, granting them immense creative freedom during development.

The random weapon system ensures varied and unpredictable battles, while dynamic movement mechanics like time-slowing add further depth to the gameplay.

The game also features mysterious cats that guide the protagonist through dreams and reward them with CatCoins, a currency used to enhance abilities.

At this point in Early Access, the cat's story and narrative may not be fully realized. However, later updates will slowly reveal the cats' background and connection to the main character.

The art style is deliberately quirky, blending realistic and cartoonish elements, complemented by a fitting soundtrack.

Overall, ODDRooM promises a unique fusion of creativity, horror, and absurdity.

With a rating of 12+ and playful combat animations, this indie shooter has the potential to appeal to a wide audience.
