A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Toronto, 1928. Frostbitten and pious. Decay creeps just beneath the glittering splendour of the age. Work in a slaughterhouse and surrender to the atrophy of conscience, flesh, and reality itself.


CN: gore, death, meat, rot

Much of this game takes place in a slaughterhouse and meatpacking plant. Lives are ended, intestines and minds are unwound. 

Part of the NaNoRenO 2025 game jam!

Ooh, this is sick! I love the second song, the one in the slaughterhouse. It fits so well with the gorgeous art and haunting story. 

Amazing work!
