Get PIGFACE 0.30 for Mac

A shooter that skips the heroics and drops you straight into debt. That’s the headspace PIGFACE carves out — less power fantasy, more desperate work-for-hire where the only way out is through the next job.

Contract shooter — You’re not saving the world. Captors hold your leash, and each mission is a contract you carry out because the alternative is a bomb in your skull going off.

Masks — Found and unlocked as you go. They aren’t cosmetic. Each one dials up your lethality, making it easier to clear a room before anyone knows you’re in it.

Abandoned warehouse start — No briefing room, no squad. You wake up in a crumbling warehouse with nothing but a job to do. The setting tells you everything about where you stand.

Early access — Version 0.30, released September 18, 2025. This is a raw build, not a polished final product. Rough edges are part of the deal right now.

Who should step in: players who like oppressive atmosphere, quick restarts, and a loop that doesn’t pretend to be fair. Who should wait: anyone expecting a finished campaign or a story with clean answers. The foundation is there, cold and mean — but it’s still being built.

The jump from a proof-of-concept to something you can actually sink a few evenings into usually takes a few patches. Version 0.30 doesn't pretend otherwise — it's the first public build, so the "what's new" list is really a mission statement. Sandbox contracts are the whole meal here. You pick a job, you get dropped into a space, and the game leaves it to you to figure out the approach. No two attempts play out the same way because the enemy placement and sightlines shift just enough to keep you from settling into a routine. Masks got their first proper pass in this build too. They aren't scattered around as collectibles to hunt; they show up as you clear contracts, and once one clicks with your style, you'll notice the difference immediately in how fast a room goes quiet.

A contract from start to finish

Say you load into a job at a derelict shipping depot — two floors, open catwalks, half the lights blown out. The contract is simple: eliminate the foreman and get out. Simple doesn't mean easy.

First thirty seconds are pure information gathering. You move low, hugging stacked pallets, listening for footsteps on metal grating above. The audio mix is surprisingly mean in the best way — boots echo differently on concrete versus steel, and that lets you build a mental map before you see anyone. You spot a guard at the far end with a shotgun, pacing a figure-eight that leaves a gap every twelve seconds. That's your window.

Next comes the approach. A silenced pistol would be polite, but on this run you're carrying a loud rifle and no patience. You wait for the gap, slip upstairs through a side stairwell, and plant yourself behind a forklift. The foreman is in the office with two guards. You toss a spent magazine down the hallway. One guard investigates. You drop him before he turns the corner, then push the office hard — flashbang through the door, two shots, target down. The second guard panics and backs into a window. You're already moving toward extraction before he hits the ground.

Money earned, a new mask unlocked, and the black market opens up one more weapon you'd been eyeing. The loop tightens fast: do the job, get paid, spend on your arsenal, take a harder job.

Crank field of view past 95 to open tight corridors

Out of the gate, the field of view sits at a conservative number that feels cramped on a wider display. Push it up to at least 95 — the warehouse corridors and depot interiors breathe better, and you'll catch movement in your periphery that you'd otherwise miss.

Mouse sensitivity ships a little sluggish for the pace the game wants you to play at. Bump it incrementally while running a test contract until a quick flick puts you on target without overshooting. Disable motion blur immediately. The effect fights against the fast snap-aiming the sandbox rewards, and on darker maps it smears the very details you need to spot silhouettes against shadow. Finally, set audio to headphones mode if you're not using speakers; the spatial positioning tightens up and those footstep cues become far more reliable for tracking enemies through walls.

First days survival tips

Don't spend your first payday on the flashiest gun in the black market. A reliable sidearm with decent stopping power will carry you through early contracts while you learn how each map flows. Save the heavy purchases for when you've got a mask or two that complement the weapon's handling.

Replay the opening warehouse contract a few times before moving on. It's the smallest sandbox and the quickest to learn, which makes it perfect for experimenting with aggression levels. Try clearing it with only melee, then with nothing but a pistol, then with the loudest loadout you can afford. Each pass teaches you how the AI reacts to noise, how long they search, and where they tend to cluster. That knowledge transfers to every other location.

When a mask drops, equip it immediately and run a contract you already know. Some masks reward speed, others reward precision, and a few lean into chaos. Understanding what each one changes about your killing ability before you step into unfamiliar territory keeps the frustration low. And keep a mental note of which contracts pay out consistently — a stable income loop matters more than the one-time big score when you're still building your arsenal from scratch.

If you ever hit a launch error after dragging the app into Applications, the disk image includes a Fix file that handles the Wineskin hiccup in seconds. Run it once and you're back in.
