Independent developer David Szymanski, known for Gloomwood and DUSK, has unveiled a gameplay trailer for his new game Butcher's Creek, which is a mix of Manhunt and Condemned.
In the video, the developer revealed the exact release date—January 23 of this year. There's a Steam page where you can download a demo version.
Butcher's Creek is described as a first-person horror game that tells the story of a character captured by maniacs. To gain freedom, the hero must become a sadist himself and eliminate anyone who tries to stop him.
"What starts as illicit urban exploration becomes a fight for survival when he's captured by a gang of sadistic killers. Now his only option is to pick up a box cutter, a hammer, a pickaxe, or whatever else is at hand, and unleash a little video violence of his own", — reads the description.
Features highlighted by the developer include a variety of weapons (hammers, axes, pipes, box cutters, and more) and a sea of brutality.
