Great game wif great combat and atmosphere. I was looing for a game with condemned criminal origins type combat and this game really scratched that itch. Really recommend this game for those with the gritty melee combat itch such as myself. Im kinda sad this game was short and i believe it couldve been something more but i hope someone would be inspired by this game and make it a more full fledge game

Butchers creek is what you get if you mix condemed crimal origins and bloodshot with manhunt its a indie game made by David Szymanski the same guy that made a game called iron lung. Story of this game is you are some guy lured to place called butchers creek cause of the promise of finding snuff films once you arrive you enter a building with seems deserreted only to confronted by you're first enemy a sack wearing cultist that attacks you once defeating him you find a way out only to stumble into a cabin where you get knocked out stripped naked for some reason and locked in a cage upon escaping you're cage you're mission begin will you uncover those snuff films to statisfy you're sick pleasure and uncover the twisted reason these films are being made. Gameplay . The game is in a first person perspective you will find many melee weapon to use to defend you're self from the cultists everything from hammers,shovels,pipes,wrenches,hatchets etc you also can kicke enemy to to stun them you can block attacks you also have a camera which is used to take photos of brutal murders and blood splatters which are use to regain health also the snuff films you find are to increase you're health bar and interesting but twisted gameplay mechanic.Enemies will attack the player if they catch sight of you and will hurl insults at you upon attacking them everything from calling you a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ penis and or a piece of ♥♥♥♥ a fat ♥♥♥♥ yes this game has some colourful language but then again its a horrror game not a penny collecting simulator. Graphics. The game uses the unity engine a popular engine for indie games the atomosphere in the game is intense and its creepy never quite knowing when some freack will emerge from the shadows and plant a hatchet in you're skull. Sound and sound effect. Sound is an important part of this game since listen out for foot steps can be a life saver.The sound effects of the weapons smashing into some cultist is always great and the little bit of voice acting in the game is mostly grunts and insults hurled at you. Why buy this game. Well if you enjoyed condemded or man hunt and just looking for a creepy twisted game featuring melee combat this game is right for you if you dont like getting up close and personal with enemies then dont bother with this game.Sadly no achievements for this game which would have being nice. Rating 8\10 For a creepy little horror game you cant go wrong,

Depravity Not many other words can describe the themes of this game. The atmosphere is EXTREMELY thick with a haunting and dense soundtrack, crispy and creepy VHS quality lighting and textures, and even darker secrets in texts, etc.... I recommend to fans of horror games, it's short, simple, and does not overstay its welcome.

an incredible experience top to bottom, emphasis on bottom, if you know you know. its not super often i just buy a game at its full price, but 9.99 is a steal for a heck of a time. i wish it was maybe a bit longer but otherwise no thoughts just whack and kick, great music great writing great everything. i saw someone give this game a thumbs down because they found the combat too easy, to which i say twofold: yes i sort of agree, i played through on hard and only died twice because i flubbed an attempted parry or swing but overall found this game to be fairly easy, but i would not say that was to its detriment in any way. it is unfortunate that we aren’t allowed to design a game to be purely fun anymore, everything has to be teeth clenchinglevels of hard through which you have to struggle and die constantly to little stupid things and reattempt something over and over and over rather than just kicking back and relaxing and having a pretty fun time, so i think if you think this game being not that hard equals a thumbs down, you might be mentally impaired. it is even hinted at through the notes, which if you play this you absolutely must read all of because they’re incredibly good, insinuate that your character is the goat and should be mopping the floor easy with the random nobodies that make up this cult you infiltrate. so basically there is a lore reason for the game to be not very challenging, and the guy you play as is really into taking pictures of gore, saying funny little things every time you take a picture, so even in this situation he seems to be in really good spirits, so it’s even more appropriate for the game to just be a good time rather than a grr i’m a heckin gamer time. so basically yeah. also funnily enough i played through condemned 1 for the first time right at the start of this year, but did so on a 360, the version of which does not run particularly well and the combat is hindered by having to use a controller, so it was great to play something clearly inspired by that, but on a pc with kbm running amazingly. mr szymanski, thank you for a timeless classic. i love offering women up to The Watcher
