The ride coughs up smoke, sputters, and dies out in the middle of nowhere.
No cell service. No mechanics in sight. A freezing night that’s digging straight into your bones. The only sign of life for miles is the flickering neon sign of a rundown roadside bowling alley…
Breaking in felt like the only way to beat the freeze… but what’s waiting inside is way worse than hypothermia.
▸ What you do
▪ Explore the abandoned bowling alley and find a way out
▪ Hide and run when the Mutilator hunts you
▪ Manage a classic survival horror inventory, in the spirit of Silent Hill and Resident Evil
▪ Scavenge scarce resources — every item counts
▪ Shoot back when hiding isn’t enough
▪ Beat tense skill-based minigames to survive
The Gutter Mutilator is lurking right beneath the floorboards.
He smells your FEAR, catches the scent of fresh blood,
and he won’t stop until he guts every last one of you.
Will you make it out alive,
or is your body gonna rot under the grimy tiles?
