Hello! You're on the BUTCHER game development page. If you're here, it means you're interested, and I appreciate your time. Thank you!
On this site, I'll be posting progress, sharing thoughts and the story, and also uploading level screenshots. Oh, and I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Sergey Polo, and I develop games. Regarding Butcher, it's my personal project (working after work). I hope to launch it soon.
So everyone who wants to can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a good old 90s shooter.
Next, so as not to bore you too much, I'll tell you about the game itself and what it's about.
First, I'll tell you about the references I used: games and films such as Blood Game 1997, Doom, Ash vs. Evil Dead, and Spawn 1997.
Butcher is a bloody, single-player, first-person shooter, both single-player and multiplayer.
But let's start with the story!

BUTCHER — Game Lore

Max is the protagonist of the game.
In his former life he was a contract killer, working for the mafia, living by violence and crime.
When his life ended, he arrived exactly where he was destined to be — in Hell.

Hell became his new reality.

But even Hell has order.
And that order was broken.

One of the highest barons, a servant of the Devil — Baron Taurus — committed betrayal.
He stole the Nine Keys of the Portal Gates, ancient artifacts capable of opening passages between Hell and Earth.

After escaping to Earth, Taurus began building his own Hell.
His goal was not simple destruction —
he seeks to overthrow Satan himself and claim dominion over both worlds.

But the Devil has one problem —
his path to Earth is sealed.
He cannot intervene directly.

So he turns to the only soul suitable for this task.

To Max.

The Devil offers a deal:
complete forgiveness of all sins, freedom from eternal torment, and return to Earth —
in exchange for the destruction of Taurus and the recovery of the Nine Keys.

Max accepts.

Before sending him back, the Devil binds Max to a cursed mask.
The mask amplifies his body and mind, transforming his abilities into something supernatural, demonic.
Strength, speed, endurance, perception — and the power to destroy those who are already dead — become his weapons.

But the mask is not a gift.
It is a curse.

As Max progresses, level by level, he slowly realizes the true cost of the deal.
The stronger he becomes, the deeper Hell penetrates his mind.
And with this realization comes another truth:

Serving the Devil is no salvation.

Max becomes trapped between two evils —
the rebellious Baron Taurus
and the Lord of Hell himself.

Thus begins his journey.

Key by key.
Level by level.
Through ruined cities, corrupted zones, demonic fortresses, and fractured worlds born from the portals.

The world of BUTCHER is filled with black humor, brutal combat, dark irony, and grotesque violence —
a nightmare that laughs at its own madness.

There are no heroes here.
Only a hunter bound by a curse,
and a world that no longer belongs to the living.
