Stay Out of the House

Stay Out of the House is Puppet Combo's stealth horror sim, rendered in deliberate late-90s PS1 visuals — low-poly geometry, dithered textures, VHS-grain filter pressed across every frame. You wake in the cage of the Butcher, a cannibal serial killer who has chosen you for reasons you don't yet understand, with three days to escape before whatever ritual he's planning comes due.

The house is a working sandbox rather than a linear corridor. Multiple escape routes exist; multiple other victims are caged in other rooms; the choice to rescue them or save only yourself is yours, and the AI reacts dynamically to what you actually do. Stay hidden and slip past the Butcher undetected, or turn his own traps against him with the tools scattered through the house.

A .38 revolver exists if you can find it, and using it tempers the Butcher's hammer in ways that change his patrols. Searching for clues unspools the answer to why you were chosen, but the truth — like most things in the Puppet Combo catalog — is the kind of thing you might wish you hadn't gone looking for.
