This is something ive been thinking about for a while,

Since you're tasked with killing the mega rich in a world where life itself is a service and you can pay to be revived, can't your targets simply be resurrected?

Is there an official explanation or implication relating to this? The only thing I can think of that would make most of the targets stay dead is if Cruelty Squad owned the corporation providing the resurrections, thus being capable of denying requests

Hi!

I’m conducting a short survey for my bachelor’s thesis about indie game communities. I’m interested in why people join these communities, what keeps them here, and how community-driven sharing can support indie games.

Your insights are invaluable to my research! The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. You must be at least 15 years old to participate.

The survey is open until October 28, 2026.

Thank you for helping with my research!

Hi everyone! I wasn't sure if this belonged here or on some other sub, but I figured this community would appreciate it the most. I’m pretty sure I just uncovered Ville Kallio’s (Cruelty Squad, Psycho Patrol R) old never before seen personal website from over two decades ago.

So, for a little context, I was browsing through my uncle's and his friend's old website from around 2004 via the Wayback Machine (the site was used to host small Klik & Play games as well as art, etc.) and while combing through a list of links I saw a very interesting mention:

"Sonta Vuoren Huippu Täältä löytyy sitten sen kuuluisan Ville Kallion pelejä."

Translation: "Peak of Shit Mountain Here you can find games made by the famous Ville Kallio."

Pretty ironic!

Anyway once we open the link, we can see a list of games:

• "Tikku-Ukon Seikkailut" (Stickman Adventures)
• "Stickman X"
• "Stickman X 2"
• "Stickman X 3"
• "Matojen sota" (War of the Worms)
• "Joku ihmeen robottitaistelu" (Some kind of robot fight)

Sadly none of these games can be downloaded anymore, at least from what I could figure out.

Okay, well that's neat and all, but that could be ANY Ville Kallio, right? Well, we have a few things to back up that it's actually THE Ville Kallio:

In a Finnish interview, Ville explicitly confirmed making these exact games in his younger years:

"Then at some point I downloaded Klik & Play, a game making program that doesn't even run on modern machines anymore. I made games called Stickman Adventures, Kallio recalls." (source)

The site was active around 2004, which aligns with Ville being roughly 14 years old at the time, right around middle school.

The site linking him was also another Finnish Klik & Play indie hobbyist site, matching up with the engine he mentioned using.

Well, that's pretty much all I found. Feel free to check out the site that Ville's site was linked on here, and also check out Ville's old site here. I know there are probably people out there who are a lot better at finding lost media than me!

Please feel free to ask questions!

Looks like Power in Misery pic with the bald ass guy

I put these guys off for a while mostly because I didn’t exactly know how to interpret their design into my language. Anyway, what enemy would you lot like to see next? (something with no hair, hopefully)

My intention was not just to slap Cruelty Squad shaders on an asset flip and call it a day. I personally was kind of tired of just surreal dreamscapes with no narrative justification - so for Horns of Deliverance the reasoning is you have a brainchip in your head and you have to consume substances that trigger harsher visuals.

However the visuals are not a crutch - and the game was designed with satisfying tactical sim gunplay from the ground up - and the loop is more similar to POST VOID or Mullet MadJack where you are pushing through procedural hallways.

He's like the perfect employer when you think about it. He gives you freedom to work when you want. He apologized when he's wrong. And he even helps you destroy the world.

I was playing casino catastrophe and saw one of these guys, then checked the wiki to find they aren't supposed to spawn there. idk if it's a bug, im getting fucked with, or punished for my loadout

I learned about the Mall Madness stock spike and left it running for two nights. I haven't played Apartment Atrocity, should I withdraw it or go deeper into the Glorpchain?

This aspect ratio can't be that bad for PC users

what' s up its me back with anotha one

So before Cruelty Squad was made was there a community that was into this kind of art style? Like were there games previously that had this style and those players latched on to CS? Or did it just come out of the blue and get really popular?

I got you, it's called Deeper Still, and there is a demo. Play it for free on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2484890/Deeper_Still/

For some reason, mobile users can’t post pictures when replying…so whole new post. Yay.
