March 2026
The game is like Manhunt but without the stealth part so it is more action like. It has a lot of melee combat so you are not the victim here you are the predator. Pretty dark game but if you like that type of stuff get it. It is pretty good in the dirty VHS Manhunt vibe Style. Could have been way more brutal with the kills, or the combat could have been a little more fleshed out. Still a solid 7,5/10

I loved every second of this game. The combat, the story, the horror. An amazing game. This is by far my favorite game from David Szymanski.

A short game of about an hour and a half, but its pretty solid! The combat is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brutal, the timing of the animation with the beautifully disgusting *crunch* is awesome. Very much a call back to Manhunt and Condemned, but the combat is simpler than Condemned. Really the calling back is just the gritty, grime-y, exploitation style of game. Love the writing, darkly comedic. If you've played Iron Lung or Squirrel Stapler, you know the kind of ending this game will have, its a David Szymanski game. My only gripe is the enemy AI. For reasons unknown, the enemy will decide to: stop. turn around. and wander off a tad bit to clear their minds. Then you gotta chase them and then they turn around and get a freebie on ya. I can't tell if this is just a poor implementation of the enemy backing up away from me, or if they really do just decide they need to a quick respite from the battle. I'm not mad at the sneaky hits. I am mad that they just... decide to piss off for no reason. Its a good game, and while this enemy AI issue is pretty prevalent, I wouldn't call it game breaking since you can just kinda walk behind them and give them a pipe-wrench kiss, it is still annoying--or rather confusing(?) Idk.

This game is really good but pretty expensive for how short it is. Wait for a decent sale or pick it up in a bundle.

Not a bad game, but man you gotta come up with a new way to end your games. Every single one I've played ends with a 2.5d png jumpscare. Iron lung it was okay because it was the first time. Then in squirrel stapler it was fine because there was the build up and you knew it was coming and the horror came from knowing. But this time you just walk down a hallway, and get jumpscared and then the game tries to give you a seizure which is kinda cool cause horror games should be designed to kill me irl, but next game I'm going to assume I'm getting the same png jumpscare ending, which sucks.
