SHUG is set in a mad ol Engoland, where King Charles the Cursed is hellbent on monster-slaying carnage. As a puny peasant, your only chance to spark a revolution is to fulfill a bizarre legend: find the creature Shug, and bring it to the fabled Pub... A mashup of partygame and dungeon-crawler, SHUG is a unique blend of strategy and chaos. Win with clever tactics or by going full fool on ludicrous challenges. Wander the freeroam map. Befriend monsters like Selky with a sea shanty. Slay your friends with Sexy Armour, or killer salsa moves. In SHUG you'll discover not only a whole world, but also strange sides of yourself. -description from the designer
SHUG has 3 videos from 3 creators: 2 how-to-play guides and 1 other video. They date from March to May 2026.
If you like it, try Herd Mentality, Sylvion, Kinfire Delve: Vainglory's Grotto or Kinfire Delve: Callous' Lab, which share several of its mechanics.
