The Skin Stapler is Out Now!

Hey everyone,

I honestly can't believe the day is finally here. The Skin Stapler is out now on Steam!

Making this game has been an incredible journey. I had so much fun creating the twisted world of Carrion City, its strange characters, ridiculous one-liners, gruesome murders, and all the little details hidden throughout the game. Seeing so many of you play the demo, share your thoughts, and get excited about Detective Dick Slater's latest case has meant the world to me.

Now it's finally time for you to experience the full story.

Watch the Launch Trailer

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the official launch trailer and get one last glimpse of the nightmare waiting for you in Carrion City.

Thank you so much for all the support throughout development. It genuinely means everything to an indie developer like me.

I hope you enjoy exploring Carrion City, laughing at the terrible jokes, uncovering every secret, and surviving your encounter with The Skin Stapler.

Have fun, and thank you for playing! ❤️

Michael

Grab a Bundle and Save

If you're looking to expand your horror collection, I've also teamed up with some fantastic developer friends to put together a few special bundles. It's a great way to discover more indie horror while saving a bit along the way.

Take a look at the bundles here or on the bundle store page if you're interested!
