Press release:
Wiesbaden, Germany – 24th October 2025.
The Wiesbaden-based (Germany) indie games publisher Assemble Entertainment and California-based (the US) indie games developer Tainted Pact, are today very happy and proud to announce that their old-school survival horror game “Flesh Made Fear” (which is the latest warped adventure from Michael Cosio – the mastermind behind indie horror gems such as “Terror at Oakheart”, “Weeping Falls Massacre”, “Meat Saw” and “Suffer the Night”), is coming to PC via Steam on October 31st, 2025.

Blood and Cor!

Flesh Made Fear drips with gory nostalgia, channeling the spirit of our favourite classic PSX survival horror games with brain-twisting puzzles, nerve-rattling encounters, and an atmosphere that will have you holding your breath until the end credits. Fluid modern controls refine the terror, cinematic sequences drag you deeper into the darkness, and the story keeps you clinging on until the final, harrowing moment.

Our protagonist is a Reaper Intervention Platoon (R.I.P.) operative, drafted in to apprehend the deranged psychopath Victor “The Dripper” Ripper. One of the good guys turned very bad. The Dripper is hidden away in his self-made house of horrors, where you’ll uncover the extent of his madness.

Nightmare on………

Players can tackle the nightmare as one of two survivors, each with their own abilities and personal journey. Jack relies on grit and clever instincts to endure the horrors closing in around him, while Natalie meets the madness head-on with sharp resolve, quick wit, and relentless stamina. They’re both pitted against a grotesque legion of monstrosities spawned from Ripper’s twisted experiments.

The golden factor in Flesh Made Fear is vulnerability. By reintroducing mechanics like limited saves, tank controls, and restricted resources, the game forces players into a constant state of tension. Every decision – whether to fight, flee, or conserve ammunition – carries weight. This careful design, paired with grotesque visuals and a conspiratorial story, delivers an authentic yet modernized survival horror experience.

In a world driven mad, what can you trust?

Limited save system: you must collect special items to save progress, so saving becomes a strategic choice.

Inventory management: Since slots are limited, you’ll need to juggle items carefully and use safe room storage.

Puzzle-driven narrative: solving intricate puzzles is key to unlocking secrets, advancing the story, and gaining access to new areas.

Each character has their own unique stats and story paths, adding replay value.

Combat & resources: You face grotesque monsters spawned from Ripper’s experiments. Weapons include pistols, grenade launchers, etc., but ammo and supplies are scarce.

The finale builds into a high-stakes confrontation where the player’s choices and resource management define survival.
