What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is a great tool that allows players to participate in the game’s ongoing development. Trying the game and sharing your thoughts and feedback will help us create the best Bonesaw experience possible!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is to keep Bonesaw in Early Access for approximately 6 months and to release the full game towards the end of Q1 in 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our plan for the official release of Bonesaw is to add an advanced game mode (codename: Bonesaw Ultimate)! This new experience is expected to feature custom visuals set in a new terrifying environment, along with challenging gameplay mechanics and a more complex gambling systeme involving harsh, finger-slicing decisions. We are also exploring new chip ideas and power card designs to further enrich the core experience! Finally, we plan to implement multiple quality-of-life updates regarding AI improvements, achievements and much more!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In Early Access, players can expect to play the classic Bonesaw game mode. This early version showcases the core gameplay experience and serves as a solid foundation for what we have planned for the future.

The Early Access version also includes an interactive tutorial and supports local multiplayer (and online with Steam Remote Play) allowing you to play with a friend.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Bonesaw will be available at a lower Early Access price. With the addition of all the new content, the price will increase once the full game releases.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Bonesaw is in Early Access to allow fans to support and help design the final game. Join our Discord, give us your feedback and share your ideas. We need players to help us craft the most engaging and diabolical finger-severing simulator out there!”

About This Game

Bonesaw: The Devil’s Gamble

The game is a thrilling turn-based duel with short play times that features highly strategic gameplay and a stress-inducing saw mechanic. Plan your moves carefully to outsmart the devil or challenge the odds and gamble the fate of your fingers… and your soul!

Your goal: eliminate both of your opponent’s hands to save yourself from eternal damnation!

The Saw: Unnerving and Cruel

Adding fear and chaos to the mix, the saw is part of a bloodthirsty contraption that punishes players by cutting off their fingers! Combining skill with a little luck, the blade can be controlled to your advantage. Will you be brave enough to ring the bell to unleash it?

The Items: Diverse and Versatile

Strategize carefully, steal from your opponent or combine the effects of various items to take the upper hand.

The Skeleton: Neutral yet Highly Rewarding

Keep an eye on ALL players around the table…who knows what rewards are granted to those who eliminate the skeleton first?

How To Play

The Goal:

  • The first player to accumulate 3 points (win 3 rounds) wins the game.

  • To win a round, players must be the first to eliminate both of their opponent’s hands. A hand is removed from play when its total finger count is reached or when it’s severed by the saw.

Player Turn:

  • Play chips and power cards to gain special abilities.

  • Attack an opponent’s hand and add the number of fingers from your attacking hand to theirs. If the attack total exceeds the number of fingers on the targeted hand, the count resets and the remaining amount is added.

Or

  • Attack the bell to activate the saw. Additional attacks on the bell will move the blade clockwise around the active hands to have it target another hand. 

Gameplay:

  • The skeleton is a passive side player. Be the first to eliminate him to earn a power card, granting a unique and game-changing ability.

  • When active, the saw has a chance to sever a hand at the end of each turn. The gauge surrounding the bell displays the chances of the saw cutting.

  • Every finger lost changes drastically the dynamic and strategies of the following rounds!

Multiple Game Modes

Play through a gripping single player experience with different game modes or challenge a friend in local multiplayer. Who wouldn't want to chop their friend's fingers off…

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

In Bonesaw, cut-off fingers are visible, with blood pooling on the table mat.
