Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror fans who want a story-led slasher experience

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking an open-ended or highly replay-focused structure may find the story-led format restrictive

- Players who avoid graphic slasher horror are unlikely to fit the game's subject matter
Our take on Skinfreak
The store presentation centers on the killer and graphic horror, while the actual package also spends time on office errands, note-taking, dialogue, inventory puzzles, taxi driving, and two separate retro games. The result is broader than a straightforward slasher game.
What is Skinfreak?
Skinfreak follows Belle, who enters an office building for a late-night software installation and becomes the target of a serial killer.
The story-led horror game combines exploration, cinematic scenes, environmental puzzles, dialogue trees, and a classic inventory system for examining and using found items. A note-taking system records points of interest and tasks. The game includes voice acting, a playable prologue with taxi driving, and two retro mini games: a point-and-click horror puzzle game and a gory side-scrolling shooter.
