Sniper Killer (v1.29)

A rain-soaked city becomes the hunting ground for a murderer who kills from afar, while a worn-down detective tries to find a pattern before the next shot rings out. Sniper Killer is a compact first-person horror thriller built around slasher-film tension, grimy crime scenes, and a deliberately rough late-1990s visual style. Its story alternates between Detective Comardy’s increasingly desperate investigation and the masked sniper’s predatory perspective, creating an uncomfortable sense that the player is both pursuing and enabling the violence. The mood is bleak, sleazy, and paranoid, with deserted streets, cramped interiors, and public spaces that never feel safe.

As Comardy, players examine murder scenes, question people connected to the victims, follow leads through the city, and piece together the killer’s identity. Investigation is less about elaborate detective-game deduction systems than absorbing environmental details and pushing the narrative forward through conversations and exploration. Sniper segments shift the pace sharply: the player surveils targets through a scope, waits for a clean opportunity, and pulls the trigger before fleeing the scene. The contrast between slow, uneasy police work and sudden, ruthless long-range attacks gives each chapter a different kind of pressure, while the story’s shifting viewpoints keep the mystery moving.

Puppet Combo’s signature low-poly presentation is the main attraction, using chunky character models, harsh lighting, grainy textures, and awkwardly authentic retro controls to make every location feel like a lost PS1-era horror tape. Rather than offering a huge open world or deep weapon customization, Sniper Killer focuses on a concise, story-led campaign with unsettling atmosphere and lurid true-crime energy. Fans of Puppet Combo’s Murder House, Bloodwash, and other VHS-styled indie horror games will immediately understand the appeal. It suits players who enjoy short, abrasive horror experiences, murder mysteries, and deliberately retro presentation more than those looking for polished modern shooting mechanics.
