"Ethically" Sourced Flesh and You: A Guide to the Torture Shack

DR NY September 20, 2022

A Guide to the Torture Shack

Every year for the Feast of Flesh we open a special little experience often referred to as "The Torture Shack." What exactly is the shack? Well on an in game level the shack is where Zodiac conducts his yearly harvest of pounds of fresh, living flesh to help save those who end up taking an early trip into the grave. The flesh also has another important use, to pay a tithe to the horrible creatures that come round during the night during the feast hungering for fresh meat. Those without a pound of flesh on their door will  awaken to find themselves beset by terrifying creatures hungering for fresh meat. Just ask those who forgot their pound of flesh last year!

What Should You Expect?

On an out of game level The Torture Shack is an intense and in depth physical and psychological experience where we use sight, sound, touch, and smell to push your character and you to their limits. By touching on as many senses as possible we can create an immersive and engaging experience. You can expect things like scent sprays, surgical implements, strange textures, lighting, fog and more.

Horrifying, But Safe.

Terrified of being tortured? Good that's a healthy response but don't be too scared we use a robust safety system involving consent forms, preparation on topics and experiences, as well as safe words to make sure you have the most fun being tormented as possible. Starting at game on there will be a sign up sheet in the post office for time blocks to visit the torture shacks as consent forms to fill out so we know how best to tailor your experience. Sign up for the slot that you want then fill out your form and you're good to go!

So come on down to the Torture Shack this year, get vivisected by Zodiac or just listen to your friends scream from outside, it's good times either way. Just remember we're going to get our pound of flesh one way or another...
