Skin Deep is a first-person shooter science fiction video game developed by Blendo Games and published by Annapurna Interactive, released on 30 April 2025 for Windows. The game follows an open-ended structure, heavily influenced by immersive sim mechanics, which allows players to approach missions using various playstyles. The player assumes the role of Nina Pasadena, an "insurance commando" who is cryogenically stored aboard various starships as a security measure. When space pirates hijack a vessel and trigger a silent alarm, Nina is awakened from stasis and must navigate the environment using a variety of stealth, combat, and environmental interactions to neutralize the threat.
Runs well on modern hardware.

The game is great, but I wish all the characters stayed with the iconic Blendo games style, not just the cats.
The platonic ideal of a 15$ game. Fun, goofy, janky in a way that isn't frustrating.
This unassuming little game is the definition of an immersive sim, brilliant level design and superb gameplay along with a fantastic story and great characters makes this a must for any fan of the genre
