More about The Skin Stapler

The Skin Stapler is a retro-styled PSX grindhouse horror set in the rotting, crime-soaked sprawl of Carrion City. Players assume the role of Detective Dick Slater, a burned-out cop investigating a serial killer who skins and staples young women to walls. The game emphasizes atmospheric tension, dark humor, and multiple playable perspectives to unravel the city's moral decay. Its short, story-focused gameplay prioritizes narrative and dread over combat, delivering a visceral experience inspired by 1980s VHS horror and grindhouse films.
