About The Gunk
The Gunk is an action adventure developed by Image & Form Games and published by Thunderful, released on Xbox on 16 December 2021. Rani, one half of a gritty duo of space haulers, arrives on an untouched planet full of life in search of valuable resources, and uncovers the dormant secrets of a shattered civilisation while fighting the spread of a toxic gunk parasite.
