Exploration is critical to finding enough materials to unlock all upgrades, although only a couple upgrades are needed to actively progress in-game. These are found from plants, enemies, and stashes scattered throughout. There are four different types of materials to collect: metal, fiber, alien, and organic.
Each scan earns Rani EXP, which in turn unlocks new upgrades which can be unlocked at the ship’s workbench using materials.
Using her scanner, Rani can scan nearly every item she encounters to gain insight into its origin, value, composition, and usefulness. While there is a small amount of combat, which ramps up in both difficulty and consistency as you progress, the main focal point of The Gunk is exploring and uncovering the world’s mysteries. The Gunk wastes little time with set up, quickly sending Rani out into a surprisingly large world, which – while technically linear – does a great job of presenting the players with a plethora of twists and turns to explore which prove to make the game feel far more open than it really is. It’s a testament to the developers how well a game with so few characters is able to invest players in their world, held together by Rani and Beck’s realistic friendship which teeters between friendship, anger, frustration, desperation, fear, and hope. Their quick witted back and forth banter makes up a large chunk of the game’s dialogue and anchors the narrative. Becks serves as a great counterpoint to Rani’s impulsiveness, attempting to calm Rani’s penchant for seeking out danger while also encouraging her need for exploration and the team’s need to land a big score to crawl their way out of their current downward spiral. While players control Rani and spend most of their time with her, she is only one part of a team. Rani is brimming with curiosity and can’t help but explore every nook and cranny of the new world she and Becks have found, which quickly leads to her becoming embroiled in a much larger adventure than she could have ever planned. The main thrust of The Gunk is exploration. Rani, armed with her trusty vacuum glove and scanner, sets off on a mission to liberate the land from the gunk and restore its natural beauty. The world you land on is covered by a strange parasitic goo that is slowly killing all life. The Gunk is a game about, well, cleaning up gunk. Immediately it becomes apparent that there is more to this planet than expected and what follows is a charming, albeit rather short, adventure. After some prodding, Rani convinces Becks to land. That is, until Becks picks up an energy signal on an isolated and seemingly uninhabited alien planet.
The gunk walkthrough how to#
Their ship is falling apart, they are running out of food – and even worse, beer – and they have no prospects on how to change their ill fortune.
Rani and Becks are poor scavengers teetering uncomfortably close to the edge of becoming destitute.
