The Lacerator announcement trailer
The Lacerator is a tense survival horror mixed with the vibe of watching an 80’s grindhouse thriller, throwbacks included, that pays homage to horror genre classics with retro-inspired low poly visuals and tank controls. Explore a branching environment, fight enemies and solve puzzles in order to progress in your mission to escape this hell on earth. But beware of The Lacerator and his many traps, you can lose a limb in real time, drastically changing your options for gameplay. Exploration will be crucial for survival, as will fighting. Sometimes you can run away from your foes, but things will often be easier if you can manage to take them down.
Max, a famous porn actor and best to ever do it, is the star of the show.
