What is Life Eater?

This single-player, point-and-click horror simulation follows a suburban druid performing annual human sacrifices to avert the world's end. You examine potential victims' routines through a video-editing-style timeline, identify targets matching vague descriptions, and abduct them before authorities find your lair. A voiced story mode sits alongside an endless mode with procedurally generated targets.
