The creator of Dusk and Iron Lung is making a gruesome but surprisingly funny horror game about beating killer cultists with lead pipes and 2x4s

David Szymanski is developing a first-person horror game titled Butcher's Creek, which focuses on melee combat and features a narrative involving torture cultists in rural Appalachia. The game draws inspiration from classic horror titles, particularly Condemned: Criminal Origins. It includes elements of dark humor, with quirky interactions among cult members. The demo showcases melee mechanics, though players have noted that the cultists could be more aggressive. The game is set to be released in January, and players can currently explore the demo and add it to their Steam wishlists.
