About The Slaughter: Act One
The Slaughter: Act One is a noir adventure set in Victorian London. A killer terrorizes the city, while private investigator Sydney Emerson is at a low point, taking jobs to find lost dogs and getting beaten in alleys. After a turn of events, Sydney sets aside his selfish nature and enters increasingly perilous and surreal situations, where dreams and reality blur.
Search for clues
You explore London’s foggy streets, searching the slums, taverns and brothels, as well as Sydney’s abstract dreamscapes. The game uses classic point-and-click gameplay, and you can follow the killer’s trail or drink at the pub until you vomit.
London and its characters
The game recreates Victorian London, from its decadence to its depravity. Along the way, you meet eccentric British characters as Sydney faces an existential crisis. Adult themes and dark humour shape the story.
Music
An original soundtrack combines film noir music with traditional Victorian instruments.
