A Deadly Twist on a Classic Pastime

The innocent childhood game of Rock, Paper, Scissors is about to take a horrifying turn. Buzzin' Games has officially announced Rock, Paper, Severed, a dark new horror title designed for 1 to 4 players that transforms the simple hand gesture game into a brutal struggle for survival.

Currently in development for PC, the game is scheduled for release later this year. It promises to take the familiar mechanics of the classic pastime and twist them into a matter of life and death.

The Entity’s Deadly Table

At its core, the premise is deceptively simple, but the stakes are raised to a terrifying degree. Players find themselves seated at a table presided over by a shadowy figure known only as the Entity.

This mysterious host offers participants a chance at absolution, drawing them in with the promise of wiping away their sins. However, leaving the table proves to be far more difficult than entering it. As matches unfold, the narrative deepens, revealing the true cost of the game.

Strategy, Nerve, and Sacrifice

In Rock, Paper, Severed, losing is not merely a matter of defeat; it is a literal sacrifice. According to the developer, every wrong move costs a player a finger, raising the tension with every passing round.

The game becomes a tense battle of strategy, nerve, and survival where players must use various items to outmaneuver their opponents while maintaining momentum. Key elements of this deadly contest include:

  • Unique Character Motivations: Each character at the table is distinct, driven by their own reasons for participating in this fatal game.
  • Revealing Narratives: Fragments of the past surface during play, exposing the horror beyond simple physical loss.
  • Strategic Item Use: Players must manage resources to outmaneuver rivals without losing their grip—or their digits.

The Entity watches over it all, hinting at a horror that goes far beyond the immediate physical stakes of the game.
