Giving me flashbacks to the scene in Aliens where the Android Bishop does a knife trick inbetween the fingers of Hudson - check out 500 FINGER FILLET. An upcoming indie game from DEADBODY Games that will release sometime later this year, there's a demo available on Steam you can try right now and it should work great with Proton on SteamOS / Linux.

What exactly is it? 500 FINGER FILLET is a horror roguelite about being handcuffed to a hand-stabbing machine that won't unlock itself until you've stabbed your hand 500 times with 20 minutes on the clock. It's all about attempting to minimize the damage and perhaps make it out with four fingers and a thumb still intact.

Brutally weird. A truly horrifying idea - but an interesting one for those of you who like your weirder experiences.

• TRAPPED IN A DEADLY MACHINE
  500 FINGER FILLET is a horror roguelite about being handcuffed to a hand-stabbing machine that won't unlock itself until you've stabbed your hand 500 times. With 20 minutes on the clock, what lengths are you willing to go to to escape? Will you make it out with all your fingers, or will you bleed out on the table?
• CHOOSE YOUR OWN STABBING IMPLEMENT
  Your captor is not without mercy. Every so often, you get to choose what the machine stabs you with next, from the dull Rusty Fork to the all-seeing Ritual Knife. You'll earn pitiful amounts of money through stabbing your hand, which you can spend on items and rings to improve your chances.
• ESCAPE AT ALL COSTS
  You'll lose fingers. You'll black out from pain. You'll bleed and bleed and bleed until there's nothing left in you. Every stab carries a risk. Every stab brings you closer to salvation. You must beat the clock against all odds.
  All that stands between you and freedom is 500 stabs. Do you have what it takes?
