About this game
Originally created as part of The Dread X Collection II, Squirrel Stapler is a short (less than an hour long) 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!"

Learn spells, engage in espionage, and spread lore-unfriendly chaos. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/34055240/8a10814a7cc6b72e23f82b9f42a3b57ac9509b37.gif Secret Agent Wizard Boy and the International Crime Syndicate is a comedic sandbox with a complete lack of safety nets or boundaries. Players are free to indulge in the full abject chaos of untethered physics simulations and uncontainable emergent gameplay, using a toolkit of magical spells and items to solve problems in ways we cannot hope to balance against. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/34055240/41808760a60aae8aeb109cad8ea3bb4fddf828b1.gif Wizard Boy can also team up with other Wizard Boys in cooperative(?) multiplayer to explore (blow up) the castle together and thwart the evil International crime syndicate S.P.I.D.E.R once and for all! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/34055240/936ff34a9038dfe99745f535206b311537012ad3.gif FEATURES A multitude of spells to learn and inflict on others Chaotic, barely contained physics-based mayhem Open-ended goals to accomplish (or ignore) however you see fit Online co-op, although actual cooperation is unlikely Retro-themed third person action, straight from the days of Unreal Engine 1 Landmines and other non-magical ordnance https://store.steampowered.com/app/3111080/Secret_Agent_Wizard_Boy_and_the_International_Crime_Syndicate/Read full article on Community Announcements (Mister Macaroni)AnnouncementsOfficial

https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/34055240/a2a280c65d75ca9252fb955192680d7c1f05a54b.jpg A troubled loner with a hunger for cinematic gore finds himself on the other side of the camera when rumors of authentic snuff videotapes lead him to an abandoned cabin near Butcher's Creek, Pennsylvania. What starts as illicit urban exploration becomes a fight for survival when he's captured by a gang of sadistic killers. Now his only option is to pick up a box cutter, a hammer, a pickaxe, or whatever else is at hand, and unleash a little video violence of his own. FEATURES Use hammers, axes, pipes, 2x4s, box cutters, and more to brutalize anything that stands between you and freedom When all else fails, the level itself can be a weapon. Kick props into enemies, or enemies into environment hazards. Photograph gruesome murder scenes to fulfill your dark desires and regain lost health Explore decaying farmhouses, collapsing factories, and seedy strip clubs in a forgotten corner of the Appalachian Forest Experience a unique aesthetic combining the gritty shot-on-video look of found footage with the photosourced visual style of Source Engine games Learn more about the bizarre nightmare world introduced in Squirrel Stapler and The Pony Factory https://youtu.be/3TLL1g8Z8Y0?si=jCY8kkxFaEhi3XpY https://store.steampowered.com/app/2512560/Butchers_Creek/Read full article on Community Announcements (Mister Macaroni)AnnouncementsOfficial
