Ultra-violent humour and jaw-dropping gore define each playthrough, dragging players into its twisted world again and again. After 10 hours most still can’t pull themselves away, and the overwhelming majority of reviews have never left the operating table.

What it's about: Lose a limb? You’ll adapt in THE LACERATOR! A titillating mix of survival horror and trashy 80’s film.
