Hotdog Butcher

The colorful lights of the carnival, laughter, and the sound of music. Everything seems ordinary as you serve your customers from your hotdog truck. But as the night grows deeper… the crowd fades, the lights go out and something starts watching you.

About the Game

Hotdog Butcher is a single-player horror experience where you live the routine life of a hotdog vendor by day and face a dark past by night. The story begins in a lively carnival… then drags you through your home, the streets, and into deeper, forgotten places.


Prepare orders, mix sauces, and serve your customers. Under the bright, colorful lights everything feels alive… yet something is off and that feeling grows stronger with each passing day.

Talk to people; every answer can change the course of the story. Some characters may act friendly, others hide something from you. The truth is a secret everyone knows but no one dares to speak.

When the lights go out, the sounds begin to change. Explore the environments, examine objects but remember, sometimes what you see is meant only for you. Each chapter unveils more of the story… and introduces you to a new kind of fear.

Hotdog Butcher starts quietly but slowly builds into an intense, psychological horror experience. It all begins in a hotdog truck… and by the end, you may question who’s truly innocent.
