Great first horror game! The atmosphere was surely scary combined with the classical music on the radio. Not a long game but I had fun playing it regardless. Keep it up ❤️
peak short game!!
a lot of walking. at least i got some music
Time to chop up a serial killer!! | The Butcher
Un muy buen juego de terror cortito, es como unas papitas, no es un filete de 1000$, pero cumple su funcion bastante bien, el tema de dejarte satisfecho con tan poco
7.5/10
Very good short little horror story. Left me a little confused at the end there but i wont give anything away. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing !! :)
i really enjoyed this game as much as i did editing this video
Loved this very short eerie retro themed game. A bit of humor and dark atmosphere. Playing as a Dexter type character was very fun. See my playthrough here:
Jugue este juego hace poco y lo subi a mi video de youtube, muy buen juego la verdad, me encanto la estetica y la idea, un juego corto y simple pero muy bueno
Very funny, quick, and scary game to play. Literally turned me into Dexter Morgan
was a really quick and fun game to play
WAIT... I AM THE BUTCHER - this horror game is INSANE
Very good
NGL the jumpscares got me good, actuall yhad a real funny one in there too
feel like this was Dexter influenced… if Dexter used a shopping trolley!
The Police Ignored It… So I GOT EVEN | The Butcher
very good game
This Game was AWESOME I loved the gameplay, the story, EVERYTHING 10/10 CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT GAME KEEP IT UP
Amazing game I liked it very much!
Honestly not bad. The audio should be a little higher though!
gotim 😊😊
This is pretty good. I thought the player was gonna be the one butchering people in this game but apparently, that's not the case.
Buen juego
It's a nice and fairly straightforward game overall. Just kinda wished we saw the killer do some stuff before finding him. That and him actively looking out for the player. Keep it up.

Love the classic retro horror vibe and the straightforward concept. It felt really clean and focused without doing too much. I do wish there were more scares to break up the tension a bit, especially since the buildup was there. A few extra moments would’ve made it hit even harder. Still, the atmosphere carried it well and I had a good time with it! Always great go in blindly.
if you like Dexter and classical music then this is the game for you.
I liked this game. It reminded me of Dexter... you should make a longer version going after more killers.. it was very good.
Great job on your first project! There's not many games where we play as the killer (not that I know of) so great job! Can't wait to see what you got next!
This one might be a little to far
This was a super fun and quick horror game. Although it wasn't that horrific or scary, being more on the suspenseful side it still was really good! I liked the lore it had and story behind it.
7-6/10!
