    From the description:

    From the same creator as Killer Bean Forever, this is a first person/third person, open-world, roguelike shooter.

    Every time you start a new single player campaign, everything changes. The locations change, the missions change, the characters change, the bosses change, and most of all, the story changes. Characters who you trusted before, may turn against you. Enemies who tried to kill you, may end up helping you. Simple missions can turn into deadly traps. No two campaigns are the same.

    this looks like a super interesting concept, especially with the changing things in the campaign!

    Oh wow, that took me back. I was in school for 3d animation when Killer Bean 2 was made, and it went viral in an era before YouTube existed. Which for additional context, was within a year or so of the original Matrix being released, which is why you see a lot of that bullet time effect in it. Everyone was trying to do it, this guy did it well.

    The original short is notable not because of the plot (obviously) or the graphics (which where pretty basic even in 2000) but because the motion of all the characters is extremely well done, even to my current eye 23 years later.

    So I'm really happy to see what happened to the creator all these years later, and I'm happy he's doing well. The game looks legitimately well made and fun, and just as ridiculous as I'd expect.
