Skinfreak Reviews

I was very good and very scary. I was on edge the whole time. Would very suggest

Perfect blend of fun AND scary, super excited to see whatever the Priest cooks up next!

I want to love this game I really do. I've played all of Kings other games and this one is at the bottom of my lists. The issue I had was with the games pacing. It starts out as a taxi driving sim and I actually really liked the concept. Problem is it give you no direction after the first pickup. You're just expected to drive around in circles until you find the people to pick up and then drive around until you find the destination. This isnt too bad because if your paying attention you'll notice these landmarks while exploring. After that you switch characters to an office IT worker. and again the pacing is just so slow. Your character moves slow even after upgrades and it a lot of wondering around and puzzle solving until the package your waiting on gets delivered so you can start doing the main goal and even longer before the Skin Freak even shows up and you're in any real danger. I'm all for a slow burn but I just found myself getting really bord. The computers do have some fun mini games on them, The necromance point and click one was great and wouldn't mind seeing king expand on it into a full game but honestly this game just wasn't it for me. I still look forward to their future games but this one was a real letdown for me.

I've been a long time Puppet Combo and Jordan King fan, but have had yet to play their games rather than simply watch them. Skinfreak was the first, and it set the bar high. This is genuinely one of the greatest horror games I've ever played. The atmosphere was impeccable, I stayed up till nearly all hours trying to finish it. It wasn't too complex of a game, but it didn't need to be, with the right set up, atmosphere and graphics that only Jordan King and Puppet Combo can master, and jumpscares that genuinely got me (compared to most every other game) Skinfreak was a delight from start to finish. ALSO, the prologue was perfect, just absolutely perfect, and I know this is a small detail but I just love in games when they have like original radio music and especially radio stories that you can listen to while playing the game, it just is such a small detail that adds so much to the game. I could not recommend this game more. If you're a fan of ps1 graphics, 80s slasher vibes, amazing atmosphere, well done jumpscares, or literally anything that Puppet Combo/Jordan King have put out before, you'll absolutely love Skinfreak.

Hey guys so I've been following BEP for awhile now and have enjoyed a lot of his content and this game my friends does not disappoint. If you like horror and games at a great price point with some great voice acting this is your game. You'll really love our voice daddy Seb in this one too!!!

This game does an amazing job of setting up the atmosphere and being genuinely creepy too.

i love this game so much. the little details and the scares are sooo good.

I played skinfreak with a friend and it was very enjoyable the jumpscares were scary the setting was believable and for the price you cant go wrong really but i do have some cons i have to add. the main gameplay is pretty repetative and the conclusion of the story was lacking. even tho it was a good game i do not see myself playing again. for the price it was very good tho

A fantastic throwback to 80s slashers/giallos that felt like I was playing a movie. Has an excellent escalation of tension that kept me terrified the entire playtime. So many dimly lit corridors and sharp corners where I awaited a potential demise. The gameplay is not what I was expecting, but I still found it very fun. I’ve never been a big fan of the “collect an item, find where it goes, get another item” style of game, but this one won me over. The only complaint I have is with one section near the end with a hyper-specific solution to a timed puzzle that killed my character several times (and rebooted me to a checkpoint 1-2 minutes back) before I slowly pieced together the solution. This, and the ending is a bit disappointing, especially given the build-up. All-in-all, I would heavily recommend this. I bought this along with the Torture Star bundle, and am very excited to play the rest of those games. I already feel like going back through this one and getting the two achievements I missed.

Nice game if you are into jumpscares and really creepy dudes who should be on some sort of register. I like the retro look of the graphics with the CRT filter. Only thing i didn't enjoy was the car handling but thats just me nitpicking.
