YUMMY!
Feed Me Billy is another PS1-style horror game from the Puppet Combo team. This game tells a dark story about a man being inducted into a cult and his descent through vile actions that might be more sinister than imaginable...
It differentiates itself from other Puppet Combo games by being one of the few that put you in the shoes of the Serial Killer instead of a innocent civilian or survivor.
The game was released in 2018 but a Demake
was released in 2020, although not developed but now published by Puppet Combo and instead being developed by CracledGhostGames. The game was also given a physical release but were a limited run (200 copies), which included the Demake, the soundtrack which was included as one of the extra features in the disc and a manual.
A sequel named Feed Me More Billy is in the works, with a playable teaser being released for it. Has a character page here.
This game contains examples of:
- Ambiguous Situation: While the killings and cult are most likely real. It's up for debate if the weird toothed hole and the notes slipped under his door are real or just a figment of Billy's disturbed imagination.
- Boom, Headshot!: Pretty much a guaranteed one hit kill if you aren't in the mood to see your victims crawling on the floor in pain.
- Depraved Bisexual: Billy at least has pretenses of this. In the sequel, he picks up both men and women at the club to kill.
- Eldritch Abomination: The Hole is a sentient, man-eating flesh pit.
- Even the Guys Want Him: In the sequel, Billy is described by male and female clubbers alike as "pretty cute".
- Fire-Breathing Weapon: Billy has a fucking flamethrower in the sequel! Apparently the Hole demands extra-crispy sacrifices.
- Flavor Text: All of the items in Billy's "collection" (the game's inventory) has some flavor text. Interestingly, this also goes the same for the corpses shedding some light in Billy's inner thoughts.
- Gainax Ending: After you kill the final victims and throw them in the hole... a bizarre meat-covered goat-like creature rises out of the hole. Roll credits.
- Guilt-Induced Nightmare: Possibly, Billy gets a nightmare where a figure barges into his home and shoots him. Also said figure is actually himself.
- Hammerspace: Somehow, when out on sprees. The killer can carry and hide away multiple corpses into his inventory (which is called "COLLECTION" in this game). Which makes things convenient at the very least, no need to make multiple trips when loading his car.
- I Did What I Had to Do: The justification Billy gives himself when he inspects the body of his first victim.
- I've Come Too Far: A thought that enters Billy's mind which can be read when he inspects one of the bodies, in his second night out.
- Madness Mantra: One of the phone calls Billy gets is just someone repeatedly saying: "You need more victims".
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's ambiguous whether or not the Hole is real or a figment of Billy's schizophrenic imagination.
- Monster Clown: The main protagonist wears a plastic clown mask to hide his identity when he's out killing people.
- Revolvers Are Just Better: Pretty much the only weapon in this game, which is a small snub-nosed revolver.
- Sanity Slippage: The Flavor Text for the last few corpses show Billy's descent into sociopathy.Oh wellDo you think I care?
- Shout-Out:
- The hole is possibly a reference to the Sarlacc Pit in the Star Wars franchise.
- The plot can be seen as either a homage or taking inspiration to the a 1981 Canadian Horror film "The Pit". The original script or the film even had the pit be a figment of the child's imagination, which isn't too far off from the current Ambiguous Situation of the Hole in this game.
- Billy's clown mask resembles Bongo the Clown in Nun Massacre, a fellow puppet combo game.
- Slipping a Mickey: A variant: in the sequel, Billy kidnaps people by seducing them into snorting spiked cocaine that knocks them out.
- Video Game Cruelty Potential: If you're in the mood to be a bit sadistic, instead of going for a one-hit kill headshot. You can shoot your target once anywhere else and see them crawl on the ground trying to get away from you. In true horror movie villain fashion.
- Villain Protagonist: Considering you play as a Serial Killer murdering people and feeding their corpses to some weird living hole thing, yeah, the playable character can be considered this.
- Visual Pun: Furthering the strangeness of the game's Gainax Ending, Billy would be greeted by a fleshed-covered goat-like being rising out of the hole. A Billy is a term used for male goats.
- What You Are in the Dark: While at first it seems that Billy is just doing these murders in cold blood, the flavor text for the first four victims show that he is capable of feeling remorse.Maybe he has a family?
- ALL DONE
