Poke around the Abandoned Building (website)

Yes, that's cooked puppy.

This is just one of the rather gruesome sights that can be found over at the new site for D3's budget survival-horror Simple DS Series Vol. 42: THE Haioku Byoutou (Simple DS Series: Vol. 42 - The Abandoned Building).

Hit up our gallery and see some of the sights for yourself, but keep your flashlight close.

It's played from a first-person perspective, you can hide in various spots throughout the hospital (lockers, for example), and it looks scary.
