Our take on Squirrel Stapler
Rather than treating hunting as a grounded outdoor simulation, the game turns it into an absurd horror ritual involving squirrels, a corpse, ghosts, and an antagonistic supernatural rule. Its short structure also replaces extended genre progression with a compact scenario.
What is Squirrel Stapler?
Set near an isolated cabin, Squirrel Stapler is a brief horror hunting game built around the bizarre task of collecting squirrels and fastening them to a corpse.
The hunter can use vegetation for cover, move with caution, keep a low profile, and wait for a suitable shot. Calling squirrels may draw bigger animals, while dangerous creatures and hostile spirits roam the woods. A freely explorable, nonlinear map contains squirrel information and other discoveries. Its tone combines surreal horror with bleak comedy and mocks inexpensive educational titles. The game includes an unlockable Giant Squirrels mode, controller compatibility, achievements, a broader settings menu, revised tutorials and balancing, further forest activity, and various fixes. One full playthrough takes under an hour.
