How it feels

A tense, immersive cat-and-mouse escape sim where you must stealthily outwit a relentless cannibal butcher in a grimy, reactive house.

What players say

Players love the retro slasher-film atmosphere but split on the gameplay. Many find the Butcher's AI unfair and the puzzles impossible without a guide, while others enjoy the intense chases and hidden content like the bunker ending.
