Squirrel Stapler
Advertisement
Squirrel Stapler throws players into an isolated woodland setting where survival and madness blend into a disturbing objective. You play as a man grieving in the most bizarre and unsettling way—by hunting squirrels to piece together a new skin for his decaying companion. The gameplay is a mix of stalking your prey in open terrain, listening for subtle movements, and deciding the best moment to strike. While the mechanics might feel familiar to fans of hunting sims, the unsettling narrative and the increasingly strange tone pull the experience far outside traditional boundaries.
Strange symbols, ethereal warnings, and unexpected entities disrupt your task, raising the stakes each time you leave the cabin. You are not alone out there—something malevolent seems to watch your every move, reacting to your presence, and to your intent. The game doesn’t rely on traditional jump scares but instead builds a creeping discomfort that grows stronger with every squirrel collected. As your grotesque mission progresses, the lines between sanity, morality, and monstrosity begin to blur, leaving you to question whether your actions serve love, obsession, or something much darker.
A Twisted Blend of Humor and Horror
Squirrel Stapler’s strength lies in how it balances its dark themes with satirical commentary and surreal humor. Whether it’s the oddly enthusiastic squirrel facts scattered across the map, the increasingly erratic whispers of the protagonist, or the presence of a rule-enforcing godlike figure that frowns upon your stapling, the game never stops reminding you that this experience is anything but conventional. The updated features—like unlockable giant squirrels, improved UI, and controller support—further polish the strangeness without diluting the core experience. What begins as a grotesque hunting game quietly transforms into something more disturbing and unforgettable, inviting players to finish what they started… and maybe regret it.
