El Paso, Elsewhere studio reveals "horror fantasy kidnapping" simulator

The studio behind last year's supernatural, neo-noir shooter El Paso, Elsewhere has announced its next game Life Eater.

Strange Scaffold, which also developed Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, Sunshine Shuffle, and An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs, revealed Life Eater alongside the news it has signed a deal with indie publisher Frosty Pop to release five games.

Life Eater is described as a «horror fantasy kidnapping simulator» set in suburban America. You'll play as a modern-day druid who must kidnap and sacrifice people to the dark god Zimforth. He must perform this ritual every year, otherwise the world will end.
