Resident Evil inspired, cannibal dungeon crawler Medium Rare has a delightful art style trick up its sleeve: stock photos
*Medium Rare* is a Resident Evil-inspired dungeon crawler about rescuing a wife from a human meat factory in a world where dwindling resources have made cannibalism an industry. Its distinctive, unsettling look, made from processed stock photographs, has helped the game stand out and drawn attention to its development.
The game uses grid-based exploration, dice-based combat and a three-by-three enemy layout where distance affects damage. Its survival-horror influences include tile-based inventory management, pursuing infected enemies and scarce safe resting places. Artist Giovanni Fim says the art aims to avoid familiar indie-game clichés; a demo is available on Steam, with release planned for 2027.

Medium Rare is a survival horror game in which a character searches a human meat factory for his wife. It imagines a world where dwindling resources have turned cannibalism into an industry, and draws on games such as Resident Evil for its tense exploration and resource management.
The game is being developed by artist Giovanni Fim. Its scenes and characters use altered stock photographs, giving it a different look from many independently made games. Players explore a grid, fight enemies using dice and manage limited supplies.
