Originally created as part of The Dread X Collection II, Squirrel Stapler is a horror hunting simulator that satirizes low budget edutainment games with pitch black humor and panic-inducing absurdist horror.
A lonely man living in a remote cabin wakes up one day and realizes his beloved--a dismembered corpse nailed to the cabin wall--has been made ugly and rotten by the flies that swarm her. He wishes she were beautiful, like the squirrels of the wood. And so he sets out to hunt the squirrels of the wood, so that he might staple them to her and make her beautiful again.
But that is easier said than done. A sinister presence lurks in the deep forest, and it has only one rule: "Thou shalt not staple squirrels!"
Love is temporary but squirrels are forever. Don't anger them
This game is completely insane (yes, even more than Iron Lung), and I'm here for it. Play a hunter who wants to make his beloved pretty again, and what could possibly be prettier than stapling squirrels across her body? It's nonsensical, confusing, and absolutely worth the short experience...
in another effort to review every video game that has helped distract me from the crushing weight of my own mortality and the unavoidable horrors of the human condition:
i'd give this game a 0/10 with the footnote: although this game is a 0/10 due to the blatant neglect for the character's beautiful wife, i don't want to upset god so i'm still recommending...
Yeah, like the title suggests it's about hunting squirrels and stapling them. To what are stapling them? I won't say. Play and find out for yourself.
The game is full of 'what the hell' moments - you can pray, read messed up stories, sleeping is just an image of squirrel with the 'you are sleeping' text.
However, the tension is incredible, especially...
The long-awaited sequel to Dusk that plays just like Dusk, but with a bit less content.
I really liked it.
My favorite part was when I woke up and a ghost squirrel and a squirrel bear both attacked me at the same time as soon as I walked out of the house. The squirrel bears actually do startle me sometimes. That's probably because the sound of the forest was done really well. Now go play the game!
