changedThe Skin Stapler is a short, story-driven horror game with that retro PSX look and a really grimy 80s slasher vibe. It’s more about atmosphere and tension than combat and you jump between playing the detectives and the victims (if you know my games, you know i love this mechanic).
addedI’m currently working on the full game , and I’m excited to show you a new trailer soon with a bunch of new stuff. So keep an eye out for news here on Steam , Discord or on Twitter .
changedI was pretty overwhelmed and happy with the response to the demo. There were hundreds of Twitch streams and YouTube videos. Shoutout to the one and only CaseOh , who played the demo, and also MoistCr1TiKaL, CJU, Kubz Scouts, Joe Bart, Grizzy, Sev and LaynaLazar (who also has a voice acting role in the game) and many more.

Currently sitting on 92% positive steam reviews 📈 Thank you so much 🙏

The Skin Stapler is a short, story-driven horror game with that retro PSX look and a really grimy 80s slasher vibe. It’s more about atmosphere and tension than combat and you jump between playing the detectives and the victims (if you know my games, you know i love this mechanic).

It’s pretty dark, but also intentionally cheesy and a liiiiitttle bit tongue-in-cheek.

Okay I admit it's goofy as ****.

Since the announcement, the demo was trending on itch.io, and we’ve collected 15.000 wishlists on Steam in 4 months - that’s amazing!

I’m currently working on the full game, and I’m excited to show you a new trailer soon with a bunch of new stuff. So keep an eye out for news here on Steam, Discord or on Twitter.

Thank you for helping indie horror games get discovered 🖤

.... and so so many more thank you everyone!! Please wishlist here:
