After a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, questionable decisions, and a concerning amount of chainsaw noise, we can finally announce:

CHAINSAW - EPISODE 1 WILL BE RELEASED ON AUGUST 12, 2026!

On launch day, you will finally be able to enter the city of Chagas, follow Isaac Sousa on his rather unhealthy journey, and take on the role of an entity capable of influencing the fate of four apostles.

But remember:

E very god must answer for the consequences of their miracles.

In Chainsaw, you will find:

  • A turn-based combat system in which enemies will not patiently wait for you to make a decision;

  • Four apostles with their own personalities, goals, and limits;

  • Choices capable of changing the characters’ faith in you;

  • Exploration, puzzles, secrets, and different ways to interact with the environment;

  • Psychological horror, dark fantasy, absurd violence, and highly questionable humor;

  • An episodic story in which every decision can leave permanent scars.

THE FIRST STEP IN A MUCH BIGGER STORY

The August release is only the beginning.

Chainsaw will be told in episodes, and all future chapters will be added to the game through free updates. Once you purchase the game, you will not need to buy each episode separately.

We want to build this story alongside you, following your theories, reactions, choices, and, most likely, the regret caused by some of them.

PLAY THE DEMO

Haven’t visited Chagas yet?

The free Chainsaw demo is already available and offers a small taste of the world, characters, combat, and strange things awaiting you in the full episode.

ADD CHAINSAW TO YOUR WISHLIST!

We’ll see you in Chagas on August 12.

Until then, take good care of your apostles.

Or don’t.

They will remember either way.
