If there is one word that can describe Skin Deep, the latest release from Blendo Games, it is 'stylish'. I almost want there to be shimmering WordArt in this review, just for that word, since seeing it so plainly in black and white doesn't begin to sell how whimsical, stylish, and fun this is. In terms of the more standard categorizations of games, Skin Deep is an immersive sim, and an immersive sim par excellence, but it's a comedy too, and genuinely funny.
You are Nina Pasadena, an Insurance Commando and former criminal. In essence, you are cryogenically frozen and then hidden on spaceships as they go about their business. If pirates attack, it's up to you to eliminate them and free the ship's crew. Also, the crew are all cats. You will encounter many felines over your time in Skin Deep, including the chef Tornado, scuba diver Casiano, and the rancher Dusty. Once you've met these cats, they'll often email you in between missions, feeding you tidbits of information about their lives and dreams.
