Hey!
The Slaughter: Act Two is back in development after a couple of years on hold.
As I've mentioned in the past, The Slaughter is a passion project made entirely by one person, and far from anything that will ever make money from, it costs more to make than it earns so I can't focus on it full time, lest I be living on the streets. I am however back to working on it in my spare time, which relives a lot of pressure and gives me the freedom to make it as abstract and insane as I like, without worrying about potential lost sales.
I'm not a big poster in the discussions as they fill me with anxiety, it does make me frustrated when people assume the game will never be completed, despite me never saying this, so follow me on twitter for updates on Act Two as it's where I'm striving to be most active @thebrained
I've not been a big sharer or work-in-progress in the past, but am going to make an effort to do so with Act Two, without apporaching spoiler territory.
Thanks,
Alex

A serial killer is terrorizing the streets of Victorian London, and private investigator Sydney Emerson has hit a new low between finding lost dogs and receiving alleyway beatings. A turn of events sees Sydney forgoing his selfish nature and thrusting himself into perilous and increasingly surreal situations, treading a fine line between dreams and reality.
Explore the foggy streets of Victorian London in all its decadence and depravity, searching the slums, taverns, brothels and even Sydney’s abstract dreamscapes for clues, while meeting a host of interesting, insane and eccentrically British characters along the way.
