About the Game

PREPARE TO BE SCARED OUT OF YOUR SKIN!

Belle is called in to work late one night by her boss to install new software in a lonely office building on the edge of town.  What should be a boring and quiet night quickly turns into a terrifying fight for survival!

The Skinfreak - the city’s most disturbing serial killer - is at large and has his sights set on Belle.  Can Belle survive this bloody night of terror and escape this maniac’s fleshy, rotting clutches?  Or will her very own skin become the newest addition to this sicko’s collection?

SKINFREAK is a story oriented B-Movie experience inspired by classic slasher films of the 1980s with a bit of giallo inspired influences sprinkled in.

  • Follow a fully voice acted cast through this shocking, skin peeling slasher horror game with cinematic twists and turns

  • Explore a large, immersive environment within the Baun Plaza - a new state of the art office building

  • Interactive environments:  Make coffee!  Install software!  Snoop through your co-worker’s emails!

  • Colorful Giallo inspired lighting - see every gory detail in a terrifying light

  • Solve environmental puzzles using a classic inventory system that lets you drop, examine, and use items that you find

  • Note taking system that keeps track of POIs around the game world, helps Belle remember what she needs to do while avoiding ‘hand holding’ objective lists

  • A full cast of unique and creepy NPCs with dialogue trees

  • Fully *fleshed* out prologue featuring unique taxi driving mechanics

Also includes two playable retro mini games - why work when you can slack off and play games?

HOUSE OF THE NECROMANCER: A retro point and click puzzle game with a creepy atmosphere as you explore a house of horrors

SHOTGUN: A tough as nails gory sidescroller where you blast the brains out of punks all over the place
