Souslike Horror About a Disappointed Executioner Inspired by Zdzisław Beksiński's Paintings Released on Steam

No Vacation for an Executioner was recently released on PC on Steam. JayO positions the project as a retro-PS2 style horror-action RPG.

From a gameplay perspective, the game resembles a souslike. The events unfold at the end of the 17th century. The story centers around a disappointed executioner who escapes from the scaffold — the hero will have to take responsibility for this act:

Among the sources of inspiration, JayO cites Claude Queni's book "The Hangman of Paris" and the dark paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński: "However, as it may seem at first glance, the plot is not related to the history of the Sanson dynasty at all."

A demo version of No Vacation for an Executioner is available on Steam.
