We’ll be releasing a playable demo as part of Steam Next Fest, so don’t forget to wishlist Scathe if you haven’t already and you’ll be notified when it goes live.
In the meantime, what did you think of the new trailer?
Whether you’re fending off hordes of demons or just trying to elbow your way through the supermarket to get that last turkey, we at Damage State would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We’ve been hard at work over the past year working on Scathe, but none of this would have been possible without the support, feedback, and motivation from our community here on Steam.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our followers and we can’t wait to bring you Scathe in the coming year. Stay tuned on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram for the latest updates on the game and don’t forget to wishlist us on Steam if you haven’t already.
In the spirit of the season, we hope you all enjoy a small gift from us to you, because it wouldn’t be Christmas without Santa Sledge!
See you in 2022! ːsteamhappyː
UPDATE 24!
It's been a while, but here's the latest from SCATHE!
If you didn't know already, we do updates about SCATHE in our Discord. This is from Update 24 (and bits of update 23) If you want to see more - join our discord: https://discord.gg/AFk2qX3
First up, a new enemy to tackle. Behold the BUTCHER!
Simply put - he's gross! On the weapons side - he's packing a heavy gun, similar to that of another enemy; Sledge.
From one enemy concept to another... You maybe noticed the turrets in the game, here's a different style of one:
This is a laser turret that floats in the air (generally chained). It's part of a laser turret family, some spin, some float etc. These should always be the priority went spotted. Lasers do serious damage.
Next up, a weapon! You might remember the Thunderbolt from before? Here's the first of it in game.
It's looking good, nice hefty size and soon to gain features. Prepare for some serious lightning!
For those who have been keeping up with Scathe - here's the latest shot of OXIDE. One of the guardians (bosses), and a rather nice close-up!
When you defeat a guardian, you gain a Hellstone - here is how the Hellstone looks in game now.
You collect four of these to unlock the exit (and escape!). Collect runes to unlock boss doors, collect Hellstones to unlock the exit. Simple.
...and to finish this update, here is a screenshot from a zone, near the dead forest (close to the swamp) regions.

That's all from us for this update! ːsteamthumbsupː
NEW DEMONS!
Time for an update on some of the latest Demons in SCATHE!
Let's start with the WINNOWER!
Named by our Discord community, the Winnower is a big, bad beast of a spider. She features twin mounted cannons on her head and is always watching you, ready to strike. You'll find her guarding her quarters and is currently the toughest demon in the game. P.S. You might notice a Razorback just behind her leg on the left!
Next up... SCUTTLERS!
Concepted up and soon to be in-game, these mini beasts may only be waist high, but they should be feared as much as any other. They spawn from the Winnower's pouch and chase towards you, exploding if too close. (Thanks again to the Discord community for naming them!)
Let's finish off with a screenshot featuring some of the Demons together:
