- The Skin Stapler Releases on August 6 - 22 July 2026
Hey everyone, it's Michael here.The wait is almost over. I'm incredibly excited to finally share that The Skin Stapler launches on Steam on August 6!For the past few years I've been pouring everything into making the kind of horror game I always wanted to play. A grimy, neon-soaked detective nightmare inspired by classic slasher movies, VHS horror, film noir, and those wonderfully weird PS1 era visuals.You'll step into the shoes of Detective Dick Slater and his rookie partner Robbie Knox as they hunt down the city's most sadistic serial killer. The streets of Carrion City are filthy, the dialogue is unapologetically cheesy, the violence is grotesque, and things only get stranger the deeper you dig into the case.If you enjoyed the demo, thank you so much for all the support and feedback. It helped shape the final game, and I can't wait for you to experience the full story and uncover whaā¦

- MY NEW GAME: THE SKIN STAPLER + WHAT'S NEXT - 22 April 2026
Hey everyone, it's Michael here.Here we go again.In case you missed it, I announced my new game THE SKIN STAPLER along with a DEMO: Currently sitting on 92% positive steam reviews š Thank you so much šThe Skin Stapler is a short, story-driven horror game with that retro PSX look and a really grimy 80s slasher vibe. Itās more about atmosphere and tension than combat and you jump between playing the detectives and the victims (if you know my games, you know i love this mechanic).Itās pretty dark, but also intentionally cheesy and a liiiiitttle bit tongue-in-cheek. Okay I admit it's goofy as ****.Since the announcement, the demo was trending on itch.io, and weāve collected 15.000 wishlists on Steam in 4 months - thatās amazing!Iām currently working on the full game, and Iām excited to show you a new trailer soon with a bunch of new stuff. So keep an eye out for news here on Steam, Discorā¦
