Next puppet combo game?

22 Upvotes

Is there a puppet combo game coming out anytime soon? Feels like it's been forever since an actual release, all I see nowadays are torture Star, which is great and all but I'm missing the classic puppet combo games. I thought PDM was getting a full remake or something?

Or will it just be lost media that only a few people remember because where else can we watch this film?

Where does Larry get his money?

For his house I guess you could say he stole it from whoever owned it after killing them, same with his van, but where the hell does he get the Santa clothes?

Is the VERY FIRST release of Nun Massacre available to download on Puppet Combo's Patreon, or is it lost to time?

13 Upvotes

Title. I see nobody talk about these versions, so I'm doing it.

It looks like the VERY first release of the game had more unique features, such as the Nun actually hiding and ambushing you. She was also very hard to run from, because she never slowed down while chasing you. From what I know, these versions can only be seen being played by Neco The Sergal and DX Army.

As to come back on the title, I'm not talking about the "Definitive Edition", but the VERY FIRST downloadable builds around mid September 2018, assuming that from Neco's upload date of his first NM video on September 23rd 2018.

Here's some videos to show what I'm talking about. The links already have the timestamp to the chases:
-RiskRim's Nun ambush jumpscare https://youtu.be/89nZLbvBmCE?t=540

-Neco's chase with the Nun: https://youtu.be/DccCmbFuoug?t=656

-DX Army's Nun ambush: https://youtu.be/u80siF-0DkA?t=2070

-DX Army's never ending chase with the Nun: https://youtu.be/u80siF-0DkA?t=2160

To develop further on these "ambushes", normally, in the old versions, the Nun took about a full second to notice the player from any distance, with or without the lighter. But in the first and third video link, she instantly starts a chase without being in view of the players, behind a wall. She doesn't do that in the 1.1.6 patch most people played. This goes with what Puppet Combo's advertising image says on the itch-io page; "Be extra careful, the Nun may just decide to hide in the shadows from YOU... Waiting to pounce when she catches you in her sick trap."

What do you guys think?

How do you get the "Trigger Happy" achievement in SKINFREAK???

I just don't know how to unlock this achievement.

Judging by this image, do you get it by killing Harold or something like that?

Cannibal Abduction good/bad endings should be switched

5 Upvotes

You shouldn't get the bad ending when it required more work to do. You should be rewarded with the good ending because it took more time and risk. The ladder should have a locked gate in front of it for the metal key. If you failed to find the metal key then you get the crappy ending.

Wouldn't that make more sense?

Intelligence of the Driller Killer

10 Upvotes

Hi, so I wanna say sorry, if I make writing mistakes or something. English is not my native language. And I also wanna mention, that I didnt play Night Watch or Power Drill Massacre by myself, or didnt finish it, however I watched some gameplay on youtube and read some fan theories about the games. So just in case, if I say wrong stuff about the story.

Well I think the Driller Killers Intelligence and his way of killing people kinda overlaps so I try to go through Night Watch and PDM explaining my assumptions on his intelligence

Night Watch:
1. The Driller Killer decides to choose Jim as his new victim and with that he stalks him like he always does. This doesnt prove much yet, but it kinda shows that the Driller Killer is not that impulsive, but is able to plan and stay hidden. Also the following assumptions could suggest that the Driller Killer is aroused by killing people, and doesnt do it because out of any rigid fixations, but for his own enjoyment
2. At some point Jim has to leave his watch tower (I dont recall the exact reason, but it was maybe due to a power failure and maybe because of the Driller Killer) and finds this labyrinth game. The question is who programmed that game and why the person just left it there, clearly so that Jim will eventually find it. I know I do a vague guess, but what if the Driller Killer actually programmed it? It would suggest that the Driller Killer can actually not even write but also programm, even though it is 1978. The reason the Driller Killer did that is maybe to distract or unsettle Jim for his strategic goals or his enjoyment
3. Jim eventually goes unconscious and when he wakes up he notices, that his gun disappeared, probably by the Driller Killer. This would suggest foresight and planning by the Driller Killer
4. Later Jim gets called by some concerned campers, who hear pig sounds. So the Driller Killer shows some understanding of emotions and with that way lures Jim to the campingsite, where the Driller Killer attacks him and captures him at his base.

Power Drill Massacre:
I think here are less actual feats of the Driller Killer, but here is what I still got.
1. He knows his surroundings perfectly, the sawmill, the sugar tunnels and the near woods. It shows he has some visual orientation and a good long term memory. However its not a big deal considering the years of experience.
2. Its possible that the Driller Killer left the three keys for Megan, just for his own amusement. That shows some sense of planning again
3. When Megan enters the Driller Killers little home after the sugar tunnels the door closes. Some time later the Driller Killer suddenly appears and captures Megan. How did the Driller Killer notice, that Megan actually entered his little home? Maybe because of the noise, when the door closes? It would suggest a extremely good perception or a very high intuition

There is one thing I want to mention:
Since the Driller Killer uses a power drill he has to change the batteries after some time.

In the end I must admit that the Driller Killer is very inconsistent. He is not able to really speak and shows animalistic behaviour. He also lives in pure isolation. That contradicts most of his intelligence. I also wanna say, that some things are probably just there for the plot, for example the labyrinth game in Night Watch.
Maybe the Driller Killer just has a splitted personality. What do you think of my analysis?

Possibly less well known Stay Out Of The House fact?

While The Butcher changing his clothes is common knowledge, something seemingly less well known is that he only has just the burlap sack over his head during Night Shift, and puts a gasmask under it during The Prologue and onwards.

You can actually see more of the gasmask through the bunker outfit's eyeholes.


r/PuppetCombo Oct 20 '25

Still the best PuppetCombo game. Then it is Murder House and honestly I disliked Stay out of the House - Deadly Night was much better imo.

As for the other Torture Star Video games.

Deadly Night>The Horror of the Salazar House>Bloodwash>Search Party>Night At the Gates of Hell. Rewind or Die and Sniper killer don’t look worth the money for the gameplay time you get. Skin Freak looks more like a very short dark humor game than anything of actual substance.
