The Skin Stapler Releases on August 6

The wait is nearly over for fans of retro PS1-style horror. Developer Michael Cosio of Tainted Pact Games has announced that The Skin Stapler will launch on Steam on August 6.

Inspired by classic slasher films, VHS horror, film noir, and PS1-era visuals, The Skin Stapler puts you in the shoes of Detective Dick Slater and his rookie partner Robbie Knox. Together, you'll hunt a sadistic serial killer through the filthy, neon-lit streets of Carrion City. Expect cheesy dialogue, grotesque violence, and a mystery that grows stranger the deeper you dig.
