Slasher Fans Will Enjoy
Played this on steam, but glad to see Puppet Combo on GOG too. The game is not for everyone, and still a bit janky, but if you're the right kind of horror fan you will LOVE this game. Just make sure it's in first person mode. Give it a chance, it's actually quite intense and frightening.

Retro slasher B-movie delight
I had a blast playing this. It's short and I wish it was longer, but perhaps more of a case of not outstaying its welcome. The controls - similar to PS1 era silent hill and resident evil - add to the difficulty as they frustrate quick movements. They're clumsy but I still have a soft spot for them. They went for a PS1/PS2 feel and I think they nailed it. There are graphical options allowing you to simulate a VHS on CRT look, and frame rate options to get closer to a PS1 experience. The game itself is as bloody, gruesome, and brutal as you would expect a 70s/80s B-movie slasher movie to be. Over the top gore, cheesy dialogue, tension heightening sound design, and a confining setting with doors to unlock and items to find... Just a real treat! Performance wise I encountered no issues at all.

Masterpiece
Resident Evil 1996 is the platinum standard for Survival Horror and genuine fearful gameplay and exploration with a memorable atmosphere and score to boot. Murder House is the next generation. Puppet Combo, just like those classic VHS tapes of random horror staples on the shelves if Fanily Video or a local mom n pop store; they're the best in the business! This is a must play.

Solid, retro-based horror.
As we live in an age reliant on nostalgia, this game hits all of the necessary boxes to feed those cravings, however, the execution is a little mixed. The game is extremely short, but it does a good job of knowing when to quit while its ahead, and ends just before any fatigue sets in. The overall aesthetic goes for an 70s/80s grindhouse/exploitation mood, with an excellent synthwave score to bolster its attempts. The vibe I got was, strangely, Manhunt with visual elements of Silent Hill, mixed with the gratuitous gore of Resident Evil. The tried and tested tank controls and fixed camera angles from yore were obviously a welcome formula for me, and when the serial killer jumps out at you it was legitimately tense. The story borders on satirical and relishes in the slasher genre's tropes, but there were some genuinely disturbing themes presented at times -- namely where he stored his previous victims and what he subjected them to. However, the main problem I have with the game is the jank and lack of consideration for the little things. Though the game's map is small, centred in a house, the lack of map was particularly jarring -- expecting a big problem down the line. Thankfully, I never found myself stuck, but it was something that could and should have been easily avoided. The same goes for the vague item descriptions. The controls and response of the character movement is best described as "floaty", which took a shade of time getting used to, and the inability to change weapons quickly, or provide an inventory menu in real time became an unnecessary challenge at the climax and when the killer comes at you. That said, Murder House isn't difficult. I didn't attack the enemy once until the end, and I feel the game works best that way, and should have never provided weapons. Overall though, for £5 this is well-worth your time. I wouldn't pay more than that mind, since the game only takes about 2-3 hours to complete on your first go, with little replay value.

One of Puppet Combo Best
I played that game on Stream. I have to say it was a very good experience. There was a bug with the washing machine that added some humor to it. However i will say the story while being short was a lot of fun. The music was very good in my opinion. I definitely recommand if you like spooky game and gore games.
