Ravenous Devils

The game takes place in 19th century Victorian London, and centers around Percival and Hildred, who run a tailor shop and pub, respectively. Percival provides the ingredients for Hildred's meat-based recipes by murdering his clients and throwing the bodies down a trap door that leads to her kitchen. Hildred then cooks the bodies into meals, to serve them to her customers upstairs. The game draws heavy inspiration from Sweeney Todd both in terms of style and story. It is implied that he was the previous owner of the building Hildred and Percival move into in the intro cinematic, where Percival remarks that it used to belong to "a well-known barber in the town."

The player controls both Hildred and Percival, though the characters are not able to interact directly with each other during the portions of the game where they are player-controlled. The player determines which character they are controlling by vertical side-scrolling, with Percival being able to navigate through the top floors of the building, and Hildred the ground floor and basement. The gameplay is broken up into days, which each last between 10 and 12 minutes. During this time Percival is tasked with selling clothes to customers who are looking to buy new clothes in the front of the shop, and killing the customers who enter the back of his shop to have their measurements taken. After this he steals his victims' clothes and disposes of the body by throwing it down a trap door that leads directly to the basement, where Hildred's kitchen is located. The clothes get patched and put up for sale, and after Percival cleans up the blood he is able to accept new customers in the back of his shop. Later in the game Percival is also tasked with tending to the greenhouse, which is located on the top floor. Occasionally a body has to be dragged upstairs to be used for composting for the vegetables, rather than have them all thrown down the hatch. Meanwhile Hildred has to serve meals to her customers in the pub. The bodies are provided by Percival and turned into raw ingredients by Hildred, who starts off only owning a meat grinder but is later able to turn the bodies into sausages and steaks as well. After this the meat gets cooked and served. Each of these actions take up time, and the animations for meat preparation can't be interrupted, which puts pressure on the player. The moment a customer enters and is unable to buy anything, a timer starts to run that determines the customer's satisfaction. The sooner the customer is served, the higher the reputation gain is for Hildred and Percival, but if the timer runs out completely, they lose reputation as well as a sale. At the end of each day the player's losses and gains in reputation are calculated, as well as the amount of money made. This money can be spent on upgrades (such as new or better equipment, new ingredients, or new recipes, among other things) or new outfits. Sometimes the player receives a letter by a threatening, pseudonymous figure who identifies himself as "J", or a different event happens that serves to move the plot forward. Before starting a new day the player is able to make preparations without a timer running.
