Butcher of Bedern
A killer is carving their way through the city this Halloween.

Welcome to Bedern where the streets are flooded with secrets and blood. Once a bustling corner of Victorian York, Bedern is now a place the locals avoid, a warren of crumbling alleys, creeping shadows, and a stench that clings to your skin. Once filled with laughter, life, and the clatter of market carts, now all that remains is rot, rats and something far more sinister.
Step inside the butcher’s shop, if you dare….
The cleaver’s still warm, and the stench of raw meat thick in the air. But this isn’t just any butcher. Meet The Butcher of Bedern—a man with a twisted grin and a taste for more than a joint of meat. Shoulder or leg which will you choose? But beware… not all the meat on offer comes from the abattoir. Whispers speak of missing beggars, lost souls, and meat with an unusually tender bite.
Every shadow hides a secret. Every doorway could be your last. And the butcher? He’s waiting - cleaver in hand, smile stretched too wide. Will you uncover the horrifying story behind the butcher’s bloodied apron… or become part of the next batch?
This isn’t a history lesson—it’s a slice of pure Victorian terror. Are you brave enough to face the Butcher of Bedern?
