Touched by an Outer God

"'The Growth have invaded our world. Kill them. Eat their flesh. Become stronger.'"

Touched by an Outer God is a game by Wither Studios for Dread X Collection 2.

Synopsis
Touched by an Outer God takes place in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by entities called "The Growth". You play as Melissa, a girl who is trying to find her father after they were separated in a Growth attack.

Gameplay
The game is a wave shooter where upgrades are obtained by consuming the various body parts of the Growth you kill. The path to the next arena is blocked by a glowing red symbol, which will only dissipate once all enemies in the current area are killed.

Combat and Upgrades
See Touched by an Outer God: Upgrades

You can use your hands to attack with left and right click, performing ranged and melee attacks respectively. The various body parts you obtain can be invested into upgrades that can be applied to either of your arms or to your body, giving you a fighting chance over the waves of increasingly difficult enemies.
