Slaughterhouse

SlaughterHouse is a first-person horror experience set in a grim, abandoned slaughterhouse where something far more disturbing than silence lingers in the halls.

You awaken in a facility built for livestock, not people. Rusted meat hooks sway slightly, dim lights flicker above blood-stained floors, and the air feels heavy with decay. Every corridor looks the same. Every metallic sound echoes too long. Every step makes you question if you are being followed.

You are.

A former slaughterhouse worker now roams the building, hiding behind a grotesque pig mask. No one knows how long he has been there, or why he never left. His presence turns the entire facility into a hunting ground where you are the prey.

As you explore deeper into the slaughterhouse, you begin to uncover traces of what happened here. Abandoned tools, strange sounds behind locked areas, and masked remnants scattered across the map hint at a disturbing past.

Masks play a key role in your survival. Hidden in different areas of the map, some masks grant small gameplay advantages, while others are required to unlock certain paths. They are not just tools — they are fragments of identity left behind in a place where humanity feels lost.

The experience focuses on tension, vulnerability, and the fear of being hunted rather than relying on constant jump scares. The slaughterhouse itself becomes part of the horror, guiding the player through narrow corridors, dark rooms, and unsettling spaces.

About the Project

SlaughterHouse was created for Global Game Jam 2026 and developed within a 48-hour game jam cycle.

Built under time pressure, the project focuses on atmosphere, tension, and environmental storytelling. The goal was to deliver a short but memorable horror experience that captures the spirit of rapid game development and creative risk-taking.
