A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a chaotic mastermind with endless amounts of time and energy drinks? Well boy do I have the solution for you, and it's basically an interactive mini-museum of some of Michael Reeves' best engineering horrors.

  • Play with 3 robots! Yes, you got that right, three robots. These take a surprisingly long amount of time to make.
  • There's a VR version! IMO, it's the superior way to play. You can really feel like you're using an extremely dangerous stabbing machine without any of the real liability risks.
  • Keyboard or controller! Yeah, I'm running out of bullet points.

The best part is, it's free! Both because I want it to be, and it has to be!

Content Warning: blood, swearing, figurines shaped like penises

Please read the install instructions before starting the game!

Install instructions

For both versions and all platforms:

  1. Download the corresponding ZIP.
  2. Extract the contents into a new folder. Make sure all the files are in the same place.
  3. Run the game! (Godot is cool because it's a self-contained package, meaning no installation process is necessary.)
  4. If you see the Windows Defender screen, press "More info" and then "Run Anyways". (I promise the program is safe, but I don't know how to code-sign yet, so that will always happen.)

VR players: Make sure you have SteamVR. Otherwise, follow the same steps as above.
