6th of August, 2026 – Today Developer Tainted Pact and publisher Assemble Entertainment are pleased to announce that The Skin Stapler is available now on Steam 14.99€ and you are cordially invited to a rotting neon nightmare like no other. Enter Carrion City and hunt a serial killer through a short, story-driven horror nightmare, expertly crafted by the creator of Flesh Made Fear, Massacre at the Mirage, Terror at Oakheart and Suffer the Night.
In an adventure inspired by the grime of 1980s VHS slashers, exploitation cinema, and classic PlayStation-era horror, a vicious serial killer is transforming the streets of Carrion City into his own personal gallery of gore. Burned-out detective Dick Slater and his rookie partner Robbie Knox are on the case, and what begins as a simple manhunt soon evolves into something more horrifying…
The Skin Stapler is also part of Tiny Teams, the annual steam festival by Yogscast celebrating tiny teams with massive ideas.
