After years of hard saving you have finally made your dream come true, to be able to travel throughout the USA, but little do you know where this trip will take you. Midway through your travels you find yourself in the grasps of one of Texas’s most renowned serial killers and cannibal, ‘The Butcher’. No one knows who he is, only that he leaves little left of his victims after he has satisfied his appetite for human meat. You find yourself locked in a dark, dank basement with no recollection of what’s happened, all you know is that you need to escape alive, or risk succumbing to the disturbing appetite of the man who had kidnapped you, The Butcher.

What you would expect from being kidnapped is pretty much what your going to find here! An immersive and well built game with a mix of physical and visual puzzles leading to an intense climax ending with a mechanic we’ve not seen in any other game! Thoroughly enjoyable game!

Nice example of the serial killer room, lots of puzzles you'd expect and a couple you wouldn't, but the narrative works them in well. One of the better 'kidnapped by a serial killer' rooms I've done this year.

If you've played any kind of serial killer game then nothing here will surprise you.  Puzzles and theming are just enough to convey the overall story.

The themeing and design are simplistic yet effective here and fits in with the storyline of being held captive... Why would you have impressive decor? The transitions between rooms are flawless and clever. The puzzles match the room and there is enough to keep you busy. The ending is a clever idea that gives you a great sense of satisfaction and completes your escape. Great game

I love this room! The story was basic but great, the theming is really good. Most of the puzzle are link to the story making you feel uncomfortable but in a good way! This room is a MUST do!

This one is really creepy and fun. The theme is great and so is the production of the room. We got stuck in the first bit and had to rush the next bit, but this added to the tension and we managed to get out in time.

A typically grim serial killer game but with a better-than-average interior and a couple of nice twists.

Will you become the kidnappers next victim (meal 😈)
