## About COMPOUND

COMPOUND is a randomized roguelite action game released in 2022 by solo developer Bevan McKechnie under the notdead label. Set in a retro-styled virtual reality environment, it features mod-selection, mutator-modifiers, roguelike-progression, and weapon-vending mechanics alongside its core retro-gunplay. Players describe the experience as intense and challenging, with reviewers highlighting how mutators drastically change each run and the retro charm shines in VR. The gunplay feels satisfying and precise according to players, and high difficulty rewards patience. Reviewers also note the polish surpasses many triple-A titles despite the indie scale. The game supports multiple locomotion options and is designed for short-burst solo sessions at a price of $19.99 USD. It holds a 98% positive rating from 1,838 Steam reviews.
