About the Game



How much of someone can you cut away before there's nothing left? Find out in this chilling kinetic novel - IF YOU DARE!

Story

When Jack Weir checked in for routine surgery he never imagined his life would become a non-stop horror show. Now in the clutches of the mad doctor Lacey Scalia, Jack clings to life and the distant hope that someone - anyone - will save him from her gruesome experiments. Will Jack survive the whims of the doctor? And if he does... WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF HIM?

Gameplay

This ghastly tale is a kinetic novel, meaning a linear text-based game with one ending. Its story and visuals are inspired by classic horror anthology comics like Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow. Length is approximately 3 hours.

(No AI tools were used at any point in this game's production)
