Supporter Pack Announced for ‘The Flayed Man’, New Trailer Released [Watch]
Snoring Dog Games announced their free point-and-click horror adventure game The Flayed Man last month, and for those who are looking to chip in a few bucks for the developer, you will be able to do so when the game launches next month with the supporter pack. Along with the supporter pack announcement, we’ve also gotten a new trailer for the game, which arrives on PC via Steam and itch.io on April 17.
Priced at $4.99 USD, the supporter pack consists of The Flayed Man Digital Artbook and The Flayed Man Soundtrack. Meanwhile, the new teaser trailer shows more glimpses of gameplay, as well as the game’s beautifully gory pixel art.
The Flayed Man sees you play as the eponymous Flayed Man, who awakens without memories (or skin) in a decayed, otherworldly house. Needless to say, it’s a pretty painful existence. You must uncover the sins of the past, pass judgement, and decide the Flayed Man’s fate. That fate depends on your choices, leading to one of several endings.
The Flayed Man features traditional point and click gameplay, with modern mechanics and user interface. The action will be accompanied by an appropriately atmospheric and moody soundtrack, which is hinted at in the new teaser. There are also “psychosexual demons” that, according to the Steam page, will give any budding psychologist food for thought.

Get a Taste of the Action-Packed Terror in the Demo for FPS Shooter ‘BLIGHTEN’ [Trailer]
For those itching for some throwback first-person shooter action, Blight Software has just had a demo released for their upcoming FPS BLIGHTEN. The demo sees you and your squad selected to eliminate the last rebels in the eastern wastes, only to have your slaughtered, and you trapped in a decaying research facility. And you’re not alone.
You’ll explore every room of the facility for resources and weapons in an effort to stay alive. Luckily, you’ll have an extensive arsenal of various firearms at your disposal, from shotguns to assault rifles.
You’ll need them in order to take down the various blight-ridden mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. As one would expect, you’ll need to scrounge for parts and ammo, so make every shot count.
Similar to what players experienced in the early PlayStation classic Alien Trilogy, BLIGHTEN sports hand-drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still scratching that throwback itch.
It’s all wrapped up in a dark narrative, where an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you’ve lost — and the things you’re fighting for.
Look for BLIGHTEN later this year on Steam.
