The Third Pig

The plot was rather unique involving “the hunt” and making a whole game out of escaping your home with hints of background lore for “The Butcher” whilst the gameplay felt like a pretty solid adaptation of survival horror mechanics despite some of it feeling a bit janky.

One of my favorite things about this title was the art style however, as the monochrome greys mix very well with the colored items throughout the home to help give you hints on where to go, whilst also making it feel like an oppressive old storybook of sorts.

The best part of the sound design to me however is the actual noises themselves, like the creaky floorboards that you’ll walk across or the noises the Inventory menu makes reminding me of the old Playstation survival horror games.

Overall I felt that the gameplay loop was short, solid and sweet though if Popsarcade ever expands the series somehow I hope he adds more conducive level design so that you don’t feel totally cornered cause Mr.
