Madmind Announces Dungeon Management Title ‘Tormentor’
Another horror title is on the way from Madmind Studios in the form of Tormentor, a mashup of Manhunt and Dungeon Keeper that’s very much in line with what you’d expect from the minds behind Agony and Succubus. The game already has a Steam page, and can be wishlisted.
In Tormentor, players take on the role of the eponymous Tormentor, who manages an abandoned prison. You’re in need of an experimental drug to help combat your progressing illness, and as such, you’ve resorted to hosting live-streaming events on the dark web where victims that have already been sentenced to death are tortured in the prison. After their torture, they’re set loose to battle to the death in the labyrinth of the prison against you.
Much like Dungeon Keeper, players will be able to use the funds raised from their livestreams to upgrade and expand the prison, including new torture tools. You’ll also be able to customize your victims.
No word on exactly when we’d see Tortmentor, but if you’re looking for a return to what you experienced in Manhunt, then this might just be for you.

Sell Hot Dogs by Day, Gather Ingredients by Night in ‘Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator’ [Trailer]
Ultimate Games is getting in on the horror job sim genre next month with Panic Panda’s Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator. Launching on August 11 for PC via Steam, the open world title will also be making its way to PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series at a later date.
Combining horror elements, grotesque humor, and retro PS1-style graphics, Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator has players arrive in the foggy town of Grimshore and open their own hot dog shop. Things are a real struggle to keep the business running while also securing your products.
During the day, you’ll be grilling the sausages, slicing the buns, frying up the potatoes, and doing the good entrepreneurial work your customers expect. Keep customers happy, keep the money coming, and reinvest in your growing fast food empire. At night, you’ll need to stock up on ingredients for hot dogs and other products. That involves dipping into Grimshore’s graveyard. Head out after dark, source some fresh ingredients, and get them back to the shop before opening time.
In amongst the side quests, the main plot sees you uncovering the stories of Grimshore, which the town would rather keep buried. You’ll also be digging into your own character’s past, though you may not like what you find down there.
