Defunct Games reviews The Works of Mercy by PlayWay, available September 26 on PC.

With a story involving kidnapped family members and a father forced to become a serial killer, you probably expect The Works of Mercy to be a dark and gruesome ride through all the horror tropes. Unfortunately, this is a tame and scare-free experience set in a boring apartment with a predictable story and bad writing. It's a game built around building suspense, and yet it never gives us any sort of payoff. It's bad enough when a horror game lacks any genuine scares, but The Works of Mercy makes it worse by being toothless and boring.
