About the Game



GARDEN VARIETY BODY HORROR is the bloody disgusting, unsanctioned followup to last years sleeper non-hit PROTOTYPE MANSION. In this all new survival/adventure you play as HANK, the idiot B-story partner who must SOLVE, PUNCH and HEAL his way through an unimaginable garden-themed existential nightmare. Investigate a fog filled estate, solve puzzles, fight horrific monsters, and enjoy the relaxing sounds of bad Japanese dub. (English subtitles included)

Back of CD case reads:

HANK MAKER is separated from his partner and hopelessly alone while on call to a foggy island. He must now shovel his way through an existential crisis of guts, gore, and gardening. What other nightmares await our idiot cop from disc 1?

Find out! In...
