This Metal Gear parody game looks really damn good.

This is made by the same person who did UnEpic, which was a fun and somewhat goofy metroid style platformer rpg. That game was a lot of fun, but it came out a long time ago, so it's understandable that it might not be recognized too much.
There is a free demo for UnMetal, and it's turning out to have a pretty great, if sometimes bizarre sense of humor to it. Give it a shot, it's a fun time!

One thing that is particularly impressive as a choice for the game is not only that, since it's played as a bit of a hazy recollection, it can have a hilarious unreliable narrative where events and such can be purposely messed with for gameplay purposes, but choices can determine what kind of stuff actually happens during the game.
And the choices have Twitch Intergration, so an Audience can choose to make the game harder or weirder or what-have-you as the game goes on.
I always loved this kind of thing, it makes the act of watching the game more interesting through interactivity, and gives the viewers a better experience by helping to steer the story.
So far, so good, I hope it comes out as a great game, and that it becomes successful!
P.S. I'd recommend adding the Itch.io link to the OP at least, so that people can check it out if they are interested.

Damn that sounds great.
I won't be able to check it out any time soon unfortunately but I will eventually !
Been waiting for Unmetal for a while now after playing the demo a year or so ago. I'm buying ASAP.
The gameplay part of this looks really cool, but the parody aspect is falling completely flat for me. I wish it had been a more normal hommage instead. The parody aspect is actually pushing me away somewhat.
This is the first time I'm hearing of the game, but I'm all for it. Do we know what it'll cost on Steam?
The Merry Gear games were kinda awesome. I loved how creator Arthur Lee leaned into the conspiracy-laden and convoluted nonsense of the MGS lore and put his own spin for the Merry Gear plots. Merry Gear Solid 2, in particular, sure went places story-wise, hah. I'm saddened that the third title in the series never came to fruition.
Merry Gear Solid 2's title theme is absolutely boss, by the way -- a stellar medley arrangement of MGS4's Love Theme, the MGS Main Theme, Carol of the Bells, and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.
Thought this was going to be Merry Gear Solid.
Played that game on a flash site so long ago

yeah, I feel like they could do something that stands on its own legs. However, big brand attachment to MGS raises visibility.
This game is fantastic so far. Literally haven't laughed this hard in a game in a while. Probably Stick of truth last time? Can't wait to keep playing
how long is the game approximately?
EDIT : ooooh, it's the guys that made unepic! Yeah must buy just knowing that!

Yeah, that was great. I am liking how it's s funny(ier?) version of MGS.
This looks so ridiculous, I'm in.
Unfortunately, I just bought a bunch of games this past week, so I'm gonna have to wait a little for this one! But I added it to my wishlist, so I won't forget about it!

Definitely going to pick this up by the weekend. It looks like how I would imagine Metal Gear would have looked if it were on the SNES.
