Our take on TAXIDERMY
The focus on pursuit and escape gives the game a direct horror premise, but leaves less room for broader exploration or varied gameplay systems. Its VHS-era presentation also commits to a specific slasher mood rather than a more flexible visual style.
What is TAXIDERMY?
TAXIDERMY is a first-person horror game presented with 1980s VHS and slasher aesthetics.
Alex visits the Taxidermy Brothers Store/House after an internet purchase is not delivered, but becomes trapped inside by an insane taxidermist. The game centers on escaping the house while being pursued at speed.
