WTFMAN released a demo of the point-and-click adventure game Slaughterhouse on Steam on June 3, 2026. The full version is planned for release within the year, with a Q3-Q4 2026 window. The game is set in a snowbound mountain villa where the player, the heir of a conglomerate, must eliminate five servants who killed his parents and now seek the family fortune. Players combine items found in the mansion to set deadly traps. The five servants-a secretary, maid, butler, cook, and caretaker-each have their own goals and secrets, and they react suspiciously to the player's actions. The demo includes the tutorial, all of Day 1, and the start of Day 2. The game uses 640×360 resolution graphics limited to the IBM EGA standard 16 colors, an OPL2-based MIDI-style soundtrack, and supports Japanese, Korean, and English. The demo was released alongside the Steam Next Fest: June 2026 Edition.
Developer WTFMAN released the demo for Slaughterhouse on Steam on June 3, 2026, timed with the Steam Next Fest: June 2026 Edition. The full game is expected in Q3-Q4 2026. The point-and-click adventure uses a deliberately limited visual palette: 640×360 resolution with only the 16 colors of the IBM EGA standard, paired with an OPL2-based MIDI soundtrack. The player controls a young conglomerate heir trapped in a villa by a snowstorm, tasked with eliminating five servants who murdered his parents and now covet the family fortune. The servants-secretary, maid, butler, cook, and caretaker-each have distinct motivations and secrets, and they become wary of the player's actions. The demo covers the tutorial, the entirety of Day 1, and the introductory portion of Day 2. The game supports Japanese, Korean, and English. The core gameplay loop involves combining items found in the mansion to create traps, a mechanic that drives the tension in the claustrophobic, snowed-in setting.
