The Lacerator Slashes Its Way to PC Today
Actors and crew are on set, and the blood is about to flow. The Lacerator, the outrageous grindhouse survival horror slasher from Brazilian developer Games From The Abyss and publisher DreadXP, launched today on Steam for PC. Inspired by sleazy 80s grindhouse slashers and packed with over-the-top gore, branching escapes, and morbid comedy, The Lacerator invites players to step into a brutal nightmare where every limb lost opens the door to a new, twisted path.
The Lacerator blends the tense survival horror of retro classics with the over-the-top chaos and humor of an 80s slasher flick. Players must explore, fight, and puzzle their way out of the hellish lair of the sadistic killer known only as The Lacerator. Every decision matters, especially after the game’s signature mechanic comes into play: losing just about any limb in your body. Lose an arm, leg, or… other appendage, and your options change dramatically, sometimes limiting what you can do, but also opening up new paths and possibilities, branching the narrative into gruesome outcomes.
Max, a famous porn actor and the best to ever do it, is the star of the show. During the latest recording session with his crew, things get really hard when everyone is attacked and abducted by THE LACERATOR. Now inside a filthy hideout, Max must do whatever it takes to escape alive and in one piece… But that likely won’t happen, as the psycho killer loves to LACERATE his victims! What part of your body will be cut this time? Who knows? The LACERATOR does. There are multiple main escape routes, but depending on your remaining limbs, you lose access to some of these paths. Each of these presents a different narrative branch that will provide answers not available in the others. Do you dare go back and put the big picture together?
