Ultra-Violent FPS ‘PIGFACE’ Sees You as a Contract Killer Out for Revenge [Trailer]
DreadXP has another ultra-violent first-person shooter for gamers, thanks to solo developer titolovesyou’s PIGFACE. Initially demonstrated as a combat demo on the game’s itch.io page, the full version will be released to Steam, featuring numerous missions, weapons, armor, and equipment. And for PAX East attendees, DreadXP will have a brand new demo at the convention.
PIGFACE casts players as Exit, a terrible woman who has done terrible things and now it’s time to do worse things for someone even more terrible than you. However, they know what you’ve done, and they don’t mind using blackmail to turn you into their gun-for-hire. As you wake up in an abandoned warehouse covered in your own blood, you hear a phone ring from across the room. They’ve just called to let you know that they’ve drilled a bomb into your head, and now they have a job for you.
As a result, you must complete contracts for those holding you hostage. Using whatever is available to you, be it shotguns, rifles, pistols, hammers, landmines, or grenades, you just have to get the job done. To help in your endeavours, you can unlock and use a variety of masks à la Hotline Miami, each granting you a different set of abilities to allow you to tailor the experience to your gameplay style. All the while, you must work towards getting close to whoever’s pulling the strings.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft‘s cosmic horror short novel, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu invites players to form a squad of 2 to 4 members to embark on an uncharted continent in search of a legendary city containing invaluable treasures.
You and your companions are on the deck of your galleon. El Capitán has given you a contract to fulfill: gather as much wealth as possible, find a missing person, locate an ancient fort, and, if possible, return safe and sound from this perilous expedition. As soon as you set foot on the shore, at the edge of the jungle, a vague sense of dread takes hold. In this jungle, treasures and mysteries await you, but so do unspeakable entities ready to make you regret ever setting foot in their territory.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will launch July 15 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
