Slaughter Horse 2

Slaughter Horse 2 is a solo-developed Early Access game that has been in active, consistent development since its December 2022 launch. Developer Catfood McFly works on it single-handedly in their spare time and has been openly communicative throughout. In January 2024, the developer announced that update 0.13 would be the "final early access update," describing a sweeping overhaul of gameplay systems, visuals, and content. That major update launched in October 2025 and delivered on most of those promises. However, the developer has continued issuing a steady stream of updates since then: 0.13.7 in February 2026, 0.13.11 in June 2026, 0.13.13 in July 2026, 0.13.14 on July 18, 2026, and 0.13.15 on July 22, 2026. These updates have added new features (a third pet, Steam leaderboards, roster pins, new special events, additional achievements, and more), reworked major systems like torture and the sanity mechanic, and fixed numerous bugs. The February 2026 patch notes explicitly listed areas still needing work (Steam achievements, death letter results, and the Magician role). Subsequent patches have addressed some of these, but the developer is clearly still iterating actively. The game's store page and all patch notes continue to identify it as Early Access. The developer stated in October 2025 that updates would be "much more frequent going forward — aiming for weekly until we can leave early access," and that cadence has largely been maintained through mid-July 2026. The game is actively progressing toward a 1.0 release, with the developer continuing to add features and fix issues at a regular pace.
