TRAPPED IN A DEADLY MACHINE
500 FINGER FILLET is a horror roguelite about being handcuffed to a hand-stabbing machine that won't unlock itself until you've stabbed your hand 500 times. With 20 minutes on the clock, what lengths are you willing to go to to escape? Will you make it out with all your fingers, or will you bleed out on the table?

CHOOSE YOUR OWN STABBING IMPLEMENT
Your captor is not without mercy. Every so often, you get to choose what the machine stabs you with next, from the dull Rusty Fork to the all-seeing Ritual Knife. You'll earn pitiful amounts of money through stabbing your hand, which you can spend on items and rings to improve your chances.

ESCAPE AT ALL COSTS
You'll lose fingers. You'll black out from pain. You'll bleed and bleed and bleed until there's nothing left in you. Every stab carries a risk. Every stab brings you closer to salvation. You must beat the clock against all odds.
All that stands between you and freedom is 500 stabs. Do you have what it takes?
