How it feels

A short horror hunting game where a student returns home to a missing family, quickly descending into a darkly comic and vengeful rampage against hamsters using contraptions like guillotines and microwaves.

What players say

Players create elaborate hamster torture and burger factories with automation and breeding pens. The game is bizarre and darkly funny, but some note the lack of a pause function in single-player can lead to bases being destroyed, and others mention jumpscares and a short story.
