More progress on the soundtrack for the full release of The Skin Stapler. Just finished this atmospheric track for a new section of the game I am working on.

I really enjoy making music for my games. Hopefully it nails the vibe!

Introducing DJ Woolz, "The Voice of Carrion City." You will hear him throughout your playthrough of The Skin Stapler in the background on radios reporting on the aftermath of the Stapler's crimes.

Voiced by and model based on KingWoolz

A little preview of the inspection system I am making for the full version of The Skin Stapler. When playing as Dick and Robbie, you'll have to comb through the crime scenes and search for hidden clues left by The Stapler to progress through the game.
