Our take on Pigsaw
The horror FPS framing suggests a substantial survival experience, but the stated 40–60 minute runtime makes this a compact single-session game. Its focus is on atmosphere, pursuit, and a small set of survival tools rather than lengthy progression.
What is Pigsaw?
Pigsaw is a first-person horror game set in a nightmarish human abattoir.
It combines stealth, survival, and shooting as players move quietly, hide from aggressive Butchers, and run when detected. Supplies are scattered throughout the facility, while combat includes a lead pipe and a double-barrel shotgun when ammunition is available. Exploration follows the abattoir’s labyrinthine interior and deeper areas. Cannibalism is also presented as a survival option. Two visual modes are available: a PSX-style presentation and a VHS-inspired mode with sharper polygonal graphics. The game contains 40–60 minutes of gameplay intended to be completed in a single session.
