Over the years, many delicious games have been created during the Victorian era. It is a period of duality. It provides the ideal setting to juxtapose the technological advancements and the severe poverty most people experienced.
Each city had its dark side, and Victorian-set games reflect that. Bloodborne; The Order 1886; and Alice Madness Returns share a dark side. Players hack and slash their ways to success. You’d be wrong if you thought it couldn’t get any darker. Thanks to their Victorian-inspired inspiration, these games are like a relaxing walk in the park.
Bad Vice Games’ Ravenous Devils released its version in April to little fanfare. However, thanks to viral TikTok, it is now getting lots of attention for its disturbing premise. If you ever fantasize about playing a horror cooking simulation, I have the perfect game for you. Ravenous Devils does precisely this. You kill people, make them eat, and then sell their fleshy wares. Help.
The official summary states: “Manage a tailor shop and corpse-cooking shop in a city where corruption, poverty and crime are commonplace. Percival, Hildred and their family just arrived in this city with a dream to become extremely wealthy. As Percival’s manager, you will need to wait for clients to come
looking for new suits or dresses. Then, take control and kill them all. This will lead to the trapdoor, which leads to the kitchen.
madmorph made the TikTok, which compared ravenous devils with the movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which starred Johnny Depp. Sweeney Todd would use a razor to kill his customers before turning their bodies into meat pies. You don’t have to be sickened by the idea of it. You can play Percival and Hildred, tailors and pub owners who also murder customers before feeding them to their patrons.
I never thought I would ever come across the phrase “corpse-cooking company.” The premise makes me want a happy place, but I’m open to the idea if you feel like cooking a corpse.
