2020 will see the release of an RPG where you truly are what you eat.

Bite the Bullet, a previously announced for PC shooter with procedural generation, will come to Switch early next year as well. After filling enemies full of lead, the playable character can eat the remais which has a dramatic effect on their stat growth.
