Fruit''. In 2023, Yabsley announced an expanded version of the game titled ''Pigsaw - Human Abattoir''.



* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Admittedly, the only pigs seen are the workers at the factory, but they give the impression that their kind are all demonic people-eaters.
* ArtEvolution: The expanded game eschews the demo's {{Retraux}} and abstract vibe for a more realistic and detailed art style.
* ArtifactOfHope: The shotgun is treated as such by the humans, who recognize that it's killing power evens the odds with their porcine captors.
* BarbarianHero: What your character evolves into as the game progresses, a warrior liberating your fellow humans by slaughtering your way through the pigs with whatever you can.



* FromNobodyToNightmare: Your character from the perspective of the pigs, going from just another bit of cattle to a deadly killer fighting his way through the factory.



* FuturePrimitive: The humans are very tribal and primitive in their behavior, almost like cavemen. All of them are naked - either stripped by the pigs or just not wearing it at all - and they don't speak, just making grunting and screaming noises.
* GreatEscape: The finale of the original game is freeing yourself and all the other captured humans from your prison and fleeing into the misty forests.



* HumanResources: Humans are just food and other resources to the pigs, corralled into the factory and slaughtered for their body parts.



* ImmersiveSim: Contains many aspects of this genre, such as a focus on immersive first-person worldbuilding and RPG elements.
* IndustrializedEvil: One of the purest and intense examples put to screen, being an entire game about escaping from a gigantic, hellish factory dedicated to slaughtering humans.



* NightmarishFactory: The pig-men's factory is like an industrialized version of Hell, built entirely to torture and kill humans for their meat.



* PigMan: The enemies of the game are anthropomorphic pigs with a buzzsaw blade in place of their right arm, referred to as the "Butchers".

to:

* PeopleFarms: A whole game devoted to the concept, though the factory is more a slaughterhouse than a farm.
* PigMan: The enemies of the game are anthropomorphic pigs with a buzzsaw blade in place of their right arm, arm that feed on humans, referred to as the "Butchers".



* RedEyesTakeWarning: The [[PigMan pig people]] have glowing red eyes.
* {{Retraux}}: The game has PSX and VHS Graphics Modes. Play the game crunchy and be weary of every pixel or play clean and slice yourself on the razor sharp polygons.

to:

* PunchClockVillain: While the Butchers are brutal, sadistic, and evil, they are ultimately just workers and can be seen doing things like taking breaks between bouts of slaughter.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The [[PigMan pig people]] have glowing red eyes in the original release. The expanded version instead gives them normal eyes.
* {{Retraux}}: The game has PSX and VHS Graphics Modes. Play the game crunchy and be weary of every pixel or play clean and slice yourself on the razor sharp polygons. The expanded version, however, features a more modernized look.


Added DiffLines:

* ScavengerWorld: Deep inside the walls of the factory, various humans who have escaped from the Butchers over the years have eked out a tribal society scavenging supplies from wherever they can and keeping themselves warm by huddling their "village" around the power generation. The player character isn't satisfied with that, though, and wants to full on escape from the factory.


Added DiffLines:

* UnbrokenFirstPersonPerspective: The game never once leaves the perspective of your character.
* VillainsOutShopping: You can sometimes encounter Butchers on their downtime between killing humans, engaging in mundane activities like getting lunch or using the bathroom.

* NoOSHACompliance: Between the giant exposed buzzsaw blades, pathways over steep drops, and complete lack of any kind of guardrails, how is this plant still operating?[[labelnote:*]]Then again considering the whole processing plant is ToServeMan one can probably gather a guess that they aren't afraid of using this natural hazards as traps for escapees. Who knows maybe even their own employees.[[/labelnote]]

That same human manages to escape his fate. Trapped in a nightmarish human abattoir, he must now traverse the plant, survive against the employees, use whatever is at his disposal, do whatever is necessary to stay alive and free the rest of his kind then escape. The Butchers are relentless, expect no mercy and give none in return.

* FullFrontalAssault: Presumably like all the other humans in the plant you have no clothes on and your forced to be like this for the full game while fending off the Butchers.
