What it is
Skin Deep is a first-person shooter from Blendo Games, released in 2025 for Windows.

When space pirates board a ship and trigger its silent alarm, the operative wakes and must handle the situation. The game is set across a vast, non-linear starship, where sneaking, subversion and sabotage are ways to survive while outnumbered and outgunned. Its store description also calls out sneezing and things getting stuck in your feet as part of the experience. On Steam, it is a single-player action, indie and simulation game with achievements, full controller support, Steam Workshop, adjustable difficulty and camera comfort options. Other listed features include custom volume controls, support for play without timed input, DualShock controller support and play at your own pace.
