About
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a hack and slash action-adventure video game developed by Angry Demon Studio and published by Wired Productions. The game was released on August 29, 2024, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
The player takes the role of Gori, a toy cat, who along with hoverboard F.R.A.N.K., try to save the world from evil toys made by the corporation Cool-Toyz Inc. Gori is the last toy not to be mass-produced. The duo also aim to protect their professor who saved them in the past.
›Story
Come hang out with F.R.A.N.K - the razor-sharp hoverboard and CH1-P - the depressed modular AI that’s constantly complaining as you wipe out hordes of cuddly and horrible toys - all while playing as Gori - the most adorable and badass Cat in the world!
This cuddly crew gets unwillingly dragged into a battle that wiped out all humans and laid waste to everything on earth that wasn’t cute and cuddly enough for The Adorable Army - a horde of mutated and blood-thirsty toys that only YOU can destroy!

Development
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is developed by Angry Demon Studio, an independent game development studio from Sweden. The game was first unveiled in IGN's virtual Summer of Gaming event in June 2020. In April 2022, Angry Demon initially announced a Windows release in 2023 with England-based publisher Wired Productions serving as its distributor. In September of the same year, Angry Demon Studio CEO John Kalderon announced that the game will also head to all major consoles alongside Windows. In April 2024, after several delays, it was announced to be released on August 29.
On October 29, Angry Demon Studio released a Halloween update which included a "Free For All" mode, Twitch integration, and a Mandarin Chinese voice-over option. Physical copies of the game for both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 were also announced, but are only available for players in the United States and the European region.
Reception
Gori: Cuddly Carnage received "generally favorable" from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic. T.J. Denzer of Shacknews gave the game a 9, stating: "a bizarrely fun story of sentient cats and killer hoverboards." GameSpew's Richard Seagrave rated the game an 8 out of 10 saying that it's "a good, old-fashioned, stage-based action game that's a blast from start to finish."
Ken Talbot of Nintendo Life gave Gori: Cuddly Carnage a 6 out of 10, praising the character designs and stylish gameplay, but criticizing its comedic tone as vexatious and cartoonish art-style a hit or miss.
