This week's ISP game comes from the guys at RuneStorm and it's currently in Steam Early Access. Visceral Cleanup Detail is from the unique perspective of the janitor after a bloody battle in space has ensued. Armed with your trusty mop and bucket (and a few other weapons) you have the choice of cleaning it all up or making more of a mess (I'd suggest saving your gameplay before the chaos ensues!).
Game play choices are single or multiplayer although they are still ironing out the kinks in multiplayer. When you purchase VCD you will not only receive Early Access but it includes their 2 spinoff games VCD: Shadow Warrior and VCD: Santa's Revenge.
I had a chance to catch up with the very busy guys at Runstorm:
Coming at you from Cary North Carolina Casualty is "breaking all boundaries of what you used to consider "hard" music." From melodic to gritty these guys know how to deliver not holding to any one end of the metal scale.
My first introduction to the band was the song Beg For Me. It delivers incredible guitar riffs and energy that you can feel this song is fast becoming one of my Indie favs. Reminiscent of the Metal Gods of the past I promise you won't be disappointed when you check out their reverbnation page.
I had a chance to catch up with John from Casualty:
Over the weekend Godlike Awesomeness on Deepwood hosted a 3v3 PVP tourney that was dedicated to fallen Rift Pvper, Junlar. I was invited by Caellia to co-host it with Grim, Landslide and Kiwi on an invisible platform that offered us some of the best views in the house.
The teams battled almost 5 hours before the 3 winning teams were announced. Grim has a great edited video of the event on his youtube channel.

An original multiplayer racing game Krautscape has come to Steam. Released as an Early Access game on March 31st Krautscape is described as: "An action-packed racing game with bird-like flying cars, focused on competitive multiplayer gameplay.The leading player actively builds the racetrack while the chasing players can take shortcuts by flying off the track to overcome obstacles. But the track is needed to score and to get speed – the vehicles don't have any thrusters to accelerate while flying. The three multiplayer gamemodes are designed to support nonlinear gameplay and intelligent movement instead of forcing you to drive perfectly. "
The game boasts short action packed multiplayer racing sessions, a new track is created each play session, three multiplayer modes with different goals & gameplay, single player practice mode, keyboard and gamepad (XBox 360 & PS3) support and more.
