Tracking new VGM releases since 2022

The creepy 500 FINGER FILLET launches today alongside an unsettling score by Josie Brechner

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since Freshly Frosted.


Are we okay? As a species, I mean. Looking at 500 FINGER FILLET's pitch, I'm not so sure we are. Following in the footsteps of recent unsettling indie darlings like CLICKHOLDING, Buckshot Roulette, and CloverPit, Deadbody Games' latest looks every bit as twisted as a Saw film. Held hostage in a dingy basement, you must stab yourself in the hand 500 times to escape. Simple as that. Naturally, with a premise that unhinged, 500 FINGER FILLET needs a suitably foreboding soundtrack to match. You can stream it right now via the links above.

Composed by Josie Brechner, the score sounds like a fever dream. Propelled by pulsating techno beats, it steadily weaves an oppressive atmosphere that makes you want to dance and run for your life at the same time. Even better: the album unfolds like a continuous DJ mix, complete with seamless transitions and a creeping, progressive buildup. It's easily the most sinister work Brechner has ever penned, and it suits the game down to the bone.

Check out 500 FINGER FILLET on Steam, if your nerves can take it. And if you need an immediate palate cleanser, give the sweet, breezy Freshly Frosted OST a spin instead.
