Impressive new sci-fi Metroidvania could tide you over until Silksong

It's a common question when buying a game these days - can you pet the dog? But how about a game in which the primary objective is to save, and thusly pet, not just your own dog, but the entire dog race? In BioGun, that's exactly what you're out to do, by shrinking down to enter your canine companion at a microscopic level and save its immune system from a dog-specific pandemic. If this sounds a little wild, it absolutely is, and that's a big part of BioGun's charm. If you're anxiously waiting for Hollow Knight Silksong, this could be the game to tide you over.

[h2]🗺️ ROADMAP[/h2]
Our game is launching in Early Access, but that doesn't mean we're slowing down. The full campaign is there BUT we want to be clear and mention that certain things are missing and others still (WIP). Some would consider it minor others not so minor. Things like the Name titles of areas not popping up on screen. Fast travel rooms sharing the same art backgrounds (for now) and other things like occasional bugs with enemy AI. We are doing early access so that we can build a community to help us better the game. Your feedback is crucial as we strive to make the game even better for you!

Note: We're aware of the missing localization and unfortunately only English language will be available at the moment, we do have plans to add more languages in the coming updates as we slowly progress through Early Access roadmap If you'd like to see a language added, just let us know on Steam or on Discord linked below:)

Canine Chronicles: The Dooper Virus Saga

Hello again everyone!

Welcome to our third article looking at the game, the lore, and the characters. In our recent articles, we’ve looked at the pillars that make up the game and the main characters of BioGun .

However, the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that we’ve not really given you that much detail about the Dooper Virus itself, so it's time to change that.
[hr][/hr]

The Dooper Virus

In the microscopic landscape of BioGun, an insidious force looms large, threatening the very life of Penny, the dog you are fighting to save - the Dooper Virus.

This deadly pathogen, born from the depths of a meat processing plant and mutated to never-seen-before strength by the overuse of antibiotics, emerged as an existential threat to dogs worldwide, wielding unparalleled power to influence just about any single-celled organism found within the infected host.



Roots and Evolution

The origins of the Dooper Virus trace back to a meat processing plant where pigs were slaughtered and processed, highlighting the symbiotic nature between human consumption practices and microbial evolution.



As humans pushed for more food at an ever faster pace, the use of antibiotics in the everyday lives of the pigs increased. This gave the Dooper Virus the perfect environment to evolve and mutate, acquiring unparalleled adaptability to almost all situations, and a powerful resistance to known medication.

The Dooper Virus managed to lay undetected as it grew, and only once it was too late did the Center of Catastrophes (CoC) notice the biological terror.

Powers and Abilities

At the core of the Dooper Virus's powers lies its ability to manipulate and recreate its microscopic counterparts.



This versatility allows the Dooper virus to propagate through various transmission routes, mirroring the behaviors of its host. Crucially, this also means that when it infects a new body, the immune system may not even detect it as a threat for a while.

The stealthiness and adaptability of the Dooper Virus allows it to embark on a relentless campaign of infection, spreading itself with terrifying efficiency.

Hope is not lost!

Though the Dooper Virus sounds terrifying and even undefeatable, hope is not lost thanks to Bek. His journey will be hard, he will have to prove himself to the world outside and inside Penny. However, with the help of DocX and the curious Nisms he meets along his mission, Bek may be able to defeat the Dooper Virus and save Penny!
