Into The Unwell: delayed until 2027

The action roguelike Into The Unwell, inspired by rubber-hose animation and featuring elements reminiscent of Cuphead, has been delayed to 2027. The news was announced by Coffee Stain Publishing and developer She Was Such A Good Horse on May 18, 2026.

About the game

Into The Unwell is an action roguelike centered on heavily medicated misfits in a colorful, chaotically designed world. The game was first revealed during Summer Game Fest 2025, where it made a strong impression with its unique visual style and gameplay elements. It combines challenging combat with an artistic flair that calls back to classic cartoons.

Original release date

Originally, Into The Unwell was planned for an Early Access launch in 2026. The developers had carefully mapped out their plans, but unexpected events led to the decision to move straight to a full release.

Reason for the delay

The delay announcement was made in a humorous way, with the developers referring to a “map” of a dry experience involving beer cans and chewing gum. Creative director Mårten Stockhaus used humor to soften the blow: “Våffeldagen is one of the most important holidays in Sweden. But because we’re not very good at cleaning, I tripped over the huge pile of beer cans left behind after the festivities. As a result, the Early Access disc broke in the fall.”

Outlook for launch

Despite the delay, there are positive signs for the development of Into The Unwell. Choosing a full release instead of a prolonged Early Access period could bring benefits, as seen with other indie titles before it. The developers say they can now focus on refining the gameplay and improving the overall experience.

The developers remain engaged with the community and will share updates on the game’s progress. For players looking forward to this indie title, anticipation remains high and the adventure continues to look promising. It’s clear that Into The Unwell is still on the radar as a promising release in the years ahead.
