Annapurna announced it is backing Skin Deep, an immersive sim shooter based in space. The stealth-action title is coming out for the PC at an unannounced date, and it’s being developed by Blendo Games. The publisher made the announcement today during its first Annapurna Interactive Showcase.

You’re outfitted with a variety of eccentric weapons and you get help from ships’ crews, which are talking cats. Space pirates have been kidnapping these cats. You play as a reformed assassin who now works as an insurance commando. Your job is to keep the cat crews on the cargo ships safe in the event of a space-pirate takeover.
