# The Skin Stapler Wiki > The Skin Stapler Wiki is an independent fan guide to The Skin Stapler, the single-player PSX-style grindhouse horror game by Tainted Pact and Assemble Entertainment. Released August 6, 2026 for Windows PC (Steam + GOG), the game follows detective Dick Slater and rookie Robbie Knox through Carrion City. Our pages cover the full walkthrough chapter by chapter, the verified main ending, all 16 Steam achievements, puzzle solutions and codes, characters and voice actors, the free demo chapters (January 30, 2026), release date and PC requirements. Spoilers are contained on dedicated pages; unverified claims are always marked as unconfirmed. ## How to use this wiki This is a reference site rather than a news blog. Every page answers one concrete player question with verified facts first, then explains the evidence behind them. Because the game reveals its killer late in the story, spoiler-sensitive pages (the ending and the identity guide) are kept separate from the general walkthrough so readers are not spoiled by accident. Pages follow the same structure: a short direct answer, detail sections, an FAQ for quick extraction, and official sources at the bottom. Facts supported only by fan pages, search snippets, or automated transcripts are labeled unconfirmed instead of being presented as canon. The wiki is maintained in English with full German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish versions of the main hubs. ## Start here - [The Skin Stapler Wiki](https://theskinstapler.com/): homepage with quick answers, verified release facts, and links to every section of the wiki. -
