Rise from the depths of a totalitarian meatlab as a failed experiment of living meat. Hunt, devour, and evolve into a monstrous abomination of your own creation. Will you embrace horror, mercy… or pure chaos?
Stage 01 // Wake
A secret meatlab run by a decaying utopian regime. A failed experiment. A nightmare set free. Rise from the depths of a totalitarian facility as a failed experiment of living meat, and fight your way to freedom in this Reverse Horror Action Game with Roguelike Elements.
Stage 02 // Hunt
Consume your prey and tear the facility apart to advance. Every encounter fuels your growth as the system collapses around you.
Stage 03 // Mutate
Hunt, devour, and evolve into a monstrous abomination of your own creation as you navigate through the brutal underground complex that made you.
Your choices determine what kind of a monster you become.
Stage 04 // Uncover
Uncover the underground facility that gave birth to you, where experimentation has no boundaries and life must escape its creators in order to survive.
This playtest was dedicated to movement mechanics.
This playtest will be dedicated to core combat mechanics.
A third playtest focused on the next core pillar; stealth, progression, or whatever the previous rounds tell us needs the most testing. Focus to be announced.

Not the full game yet, it's in active development. Playtest 1 (movement) is live and free on Itch.io right now. The Combat Playtest lands in Q3 2026, a third playtest follows in Q4 2026, and the Steam Next Fest demo and full release are both still TBA. Wishlist on Steam to be notified the moment anything new goes live.
PC via Steam is the primary target, with Steam Deck support, we're aiming for 90 FPS on Steam Deck OLED. Playtest builds measure their own frame times, so we can see exactly where performance drops and fix it before the next one goes out.
You are the monster. Guards are afraid of you. Mutations are your power-ups. The biolab is your dungeon, and you are its nightmare. You choose how to play: ghost your way through in silence, go full slaughterhouse, or show mercy to those who cross your path. Each choice shapes what kind of creature you become.
Nobody knows. Alarms don't move them. Guards don't question them. They were here before you woke up and they're the only things down here that aren't afraid of you. Find them if you can.
Yes. You're a failed experiment made of living meat and you can still stop mid-escape to pet a cat. You can pet the NPCs too, though most of them take it worse.
