Slaughter Void | June 3rd
Dread Night
SLAUGHTER VOID is a brutal heavy metal dark fantasy slasher where speedrunning meets blood-spattered dark fantasy. Built around tight handcrafted levels, lethal combat, and constant forward pressure, it throws you into a savage run through cults, beastmen, necromancers, and broken realms inspired by 80s arcade action and retro fantasy paperbacks.
Carve through packed enemies in wide, bloody sweeps, crush anything in your path with brutal forward charges. Hook into prey and drag yourself straight into the kill before the first body hits the floor. Secondary weapons let you kill beyond arm’s reach, while relics change what your body can do: stronger kicks, reflected shots, explosive force, and second chances when the Void should have taken you. The right build does not just help you survive – it lets you reach maximum slaughter.
