The Bagman

About

The Bagman is a point-and-click survival horror game set in a retro 16-bit world where time moves constantly and mistakes cost lives. You manage a group of friends trapped in a haunted house, using stealth to avoid enemies while assigning NPCs to solve puzzles or distract threats. Resource scarcity and a shifting environment force tough choices, sometimes literally. Gore is plentiful and unapologetic, blending slasher sensibilities with puzzle-driven progression. The game stands out for its aggressive difficulty and multiple endings shaped by both actions and timing. Perma-death risks for characters add weight to every decision, and the segmented level design rewards experimentation. With a 78% on Metacritic and a cult following, it’s praised for its tense pacing and retro aesthetic. Players note the soundtrack and pixel art amplify the claustrophobic horror, though the steep learning curve may test patience.
