A very mediocre horror game. The story is quite generic and not particularly well executed. The game is okay, but it definitely needed longer and deeper storytelling. Honestly, it’s the kind of game you forget about after a week, since it’s barely interesting and gets boring quickly. A big plus, however, is the game’s graphics. For the price, it’s fine and definitely worth playing to form your own opinion.1 found this helpful

Twisted.
The Swine, developed and published by Vincent Lade, is a compact yet strikingly atmospheric horror experience that proves a short game can still leave a lasting impression. Set in the isolation of rural America, it tells the story of a man whose peaceful domestic life begins to unravel after the arrival of a mysterious package containing a set of tarot cards. What begins as an ordinary day in a quiet countryside home quickly descends into a disturbing confrontation with an occult group known only as “The Swine.” The game unfolds across a series of days, each more disorienting than the last, as the protagonist’s reality bends under the influence of unseen forces. The strength of the experience lies not in complex gameplay systems or jump scares but in its ability to make the familiar feel threatening, turning the comforts of home into a psychological trap. From the first moments, The Swine establishes an unnerving sense of intimacy. The player is confined almost entirely to a single house and its immediate surroundings, forced to observe every creak of the floorboards and flicker of shadow. This domestic setting works perfectly for the kind of horror Vincent Lade creates—a creeping…
Its not everyday where the horror game genre gets filled on its head. The Swine really delivers in this area with flying colors! If you don't know what I mean, check it out for yourself. Or if you would like to see my playthrough here you go: https://youtu.be/qJIqSH3I53c
Gotta be honest, this was one of the most boring horror games I've played on steam. Super short, not scary, predictable story that really lays it all out for you, mediocre performance, it's just not worth playing. Maybe if you find people standing around in pig masks scary you'll enjoy this.
