The Repairing Mantis

About

The Repairing Mantis casts you as an insect with a grim job and a taste for chaos. Explore a nightmarish world where fixing infrastructure means hacking apart flying squirrels and stitching their remains into a bridge. Combat involves snapping necks and flaying skin while a fractured story unfolds through cryptic logs and environmental clues. Controls are simple but responsive letting you focus on surviving the relentless waves of threats that swarm as you work. What really grabs attention is the game's twisted logic. The mantis doesn't question its orders it just gets the job done in increasingly graphic ways. Player reviews note the art style stands out with its mix of industrial grunge and organic decay. While not for the squeamish the game's commitment to its bizarre premise earns it a cult following. The 8 hour runtime flies by if you're into seeing tools used for both construction and butchery.
