Cookie Cutter is a hyper-violent, hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania that trades traditional fantasy for a “techno-pop-punk” dystopian nightmare. Developed by Subcult Joint LTD, the game follows Cherry, a sentient android fueled by pure, unadulterated rage. After her creator and lover, Dr. Shinji Fallon, is kidnapped by a demented zealot, Cherry is rebuilt and set loose upon the “Megastructure.” The game stands out for its raw, Tarantino-esque energy, blending gore-soaked combat with a vibrant art style that feels like a punk rock comic book come to life.
The gameplay is fast and visceral, focusing on brutal combos, environmental kills, and over-the-top finishers. As Cherry, you explore a massive interconnected world consisting of ten bizarre zones, ranging from decaying factories to grotesque organic labs. Unlike many “Souls-like” entries in the genre, Cookie Cutter sticks to a more traditional, high-speed action formula. You’ll unlock a massive variety of weapons—like giant chainsaws and electrified guitars—and “Void” abilities that serve as both combat tools and traversal keys. It is a loud, unapologetic, and mature experience that rewards aggressive play and thorough exploration of its beautifully twisted world.
