2-3 hours of gameplay is alot longer than most 10/15 (full price of the game) bucks but as much as i like the music, villain, detective work and the multiple different character POVs and the game graphics.

The Skin Stapler embraces the filthy charm of retro horror by combining low-poly visuals, grotesque violence, detective fiction, and intentionally cheesy humor into an experience that feels like a forgotten slasher movie brought back from the VHS era.
