Description
"Atomic Butcher: Homo Metabolicus" (AB:HM for short) is a game about destruction, mayhem, instant gratification and the state of western society. Also, peeing your enemies to death. In this post-apocalyptic, exploitation-styled platformer/twinstick-shooter you play the role of the eponymous "Atomic Butcher", a crazed mutant stalking the ruins for fresh meat, driven by an unsatiable hunger - he is the perfect weapon of mass digestion! On his eternal quest for sentient beings to devour, some years ago the Atomic Butcher(TM) stumbled upon a huge underground biotech lab from the times before the great fall. A new form of life should have been created there, one that could withstand the harsh reality of the wastes - but then the Butcher came along... He spent the last few years inside this facility, eating all the organic matter it contained. Recently however, the meat reserves there are depleting and food is becoming harder and harder to find. The Butcher's need for more is eventually driving him back up to the surface. There, he will ravage what is left of the world anew - and eventually clash with another force that just might rival his hunger... An epic struggle of gastronomic proportions begins! The game was released on Steam for PC/Linux/Mac in September 2016.
