Torture Star Video, the publishing arm of Puppet Combo, is bringing Tomás Esconjaureguy’s slasher adventure, Cannibal Abduction, . It will arrive on Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles on Febr𓃲uary 8, 2024.
Tomás Esconjaureguy previously brought us The Night of the Scissors back in 2022, which sounds like a localization title for Clock Tower. Cannibal Abduction followed in 2023 on P🍸C, wh🤪ere it was self-published by Selewi, Esconjaureguy’s publishing label.
As is standard for cannibal stories and common in horror, Cannibal Abduction has the protagonist, Henry, breaking down while on a road trip. A friendly local stops to giv𝐆e him a tow, and you know how this goes. Henry findsꦉ himself on the menu and has to escape before the meal begins.
To be honest, it sounds rath🧜er standard with fixed camera angles, hide-and-seek gameplay, limited inventory, and “soft” puzzle solving. However, seems pretty warm.
Speaking of warm reception, while it doesn’t explicitly say it’s a compilation in the title, Esconjaureguy’s previous title, The Night of the Scissors, is included in the pricetag. The game has you play as Adam, who breaks into an abandoned post office to rob it, only to find it inhabited by “The Snipper,” who🃏 doesn’t take trespassing lightly.
It might be worth noting that by Esconjaureguy’s estimation, Cannibal Abduction will take two hours, while The Night of the Scissors is around 40. I generally prefer my horror ꦓgames on the shorter side, but it’s something to keep in mind when you look at the price tag, which, at $11.99, is a bit higher than the combined price of the games on Steam.
Cannibal Abduction is on PC right now♕, but it’s coming to Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox💎 One, and Xbox Series X|S on February 8, 2024.
