Steal people's faces in SKINFACE - hitman thriller announced!
SKINFACE is a gruesome horror-thriller where you embody a faceless hitman with a special skill: stealing people’s faces! Developed by Adam Pype (SPOOKWARE, No Players Online) and Ties Groen (Town to City, No Players Online), they revealed a new trailer after an itch.io prototype blew up! The full game launches late 2026 on PC via Steam.
Gaining your target’s trust across this retro-inspired horror game involves mixing and matching face parts to impersonate their friend, piece by piece. Set in dark soviet-era apartment complexes, you’ll evade the police, and persuade your victim to open the door, and carry out the hit. Knock knock!
If you missed it before, you can play SKINFACE early at Gamescom! Our demo is hosted in the Indie Arena Booth in Koelnmesse in Hall 10.2, so come say hello!
