The wait for Assemble Entertainment and Tainted Pact Games’ PSX-styled psychological horror title The Skin Stapler is almost over. After giving fans a taste of the game with the demo released earlier this year, the devs have announced an August 6 release on Steam and GOG, complete with a new trailer.

Welcome to Carrion City, an 80s fever dream where neon lights bounce off wet asphalt, and everyone looks guilty even when they are not. You are Detective Dick Slater, a burned-out veteran trying to keep his sanity while chasing a killer, the eponymous Skin Stapler. The Skin Stapler primarily targets young women in their homes and workplaces, skins them, and staples their flesh to nearby walls, leaving behind grotesque displays and distorted audio tapes that taunt the police and hint at something deeper going on beneath the city.

In addition to Slater, you’ll also get to play as a full cast of characters as they are stalked by the killer.

Focusing on story and atmosphere, each character perspective adds context, contrast, and emotional weight to the investigation. It’s complimented by the creeping tension, unsettling imagery and the aforementioned audio tapes that you will not want to listen to alone.
