Demo for ‘Condemned’-Inspired ‘Butcher’s Creek’ Available Now
Right on cue, developer David Szymanski has released the demo for his upcoming Condemned-inspired title Butcher’s Creek. The demo features the introduction and first level of the full game, giving players 30 minutes of content. According to Szymanski, the demo for Butcher’s Creek will remain available (and free) for the foreseeable future.
No word yet on the release date for the game, which is still scheduled to come out this year.
In November of 1993, you are a troubled loner looking to get your fix for cinematic gore. You travel to an abandoned cabin near Butcher’s Creek, Pennsylvania, based on the rumour of authentic snuff films. Unfortunately for you, that rumour is turned on its head, as you end up captured by a gang of sadistic killers. Now your only option is to fight your way out using whatever tools are available.
Those “tools” echo what you’d find in Butcher’s Creek‘s inspirations. Hammers, wrenches, axes, pipes, 2x4s, box cutters, and more are at your disposal to dish out some violence. And going one step further than the more brutal executions in Manhunt determining your score, you must photograph your deeds in Butcher’s Creek in order to regain health. It’s all set to a gritty shot-on-video look of found footage to complete the nastiness.
And you won’t be relegated to that abandoned cabin, either. You’ll also be visiting farmhouses, factories, and even strip clubs in order to exact your revenge. While we’ll probably never get a third entry in the Manhunt series, Butcher’s Creek is definitely looking to fill that void.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
