The Skin Stapler Locations Hub

Carrion City is the sleazy urban stage where The Skin Stapler performs its PSX grindhouse horror. Tainted Pact and Assemble Entertainment released the full game on Steam August 6, 2026 (App ID 4310610), after a demo that showcased three early set pieces: Carrion City Police Department, Quick Fix convenience store, and Gutters End bowling alley. Locations are not backdrop—they dictate pacing, audio design, and which protagonist you control. This hub links every major place page and explains how geography connects Dick Slater’s investigation to Hexy and Blair’s night shifts.

Carrion City as a whole

Start with Carrion City overview for tone, travel logic, and how streets link institutional horror to retail comedy. The city feels like a direct-to-video metropolis: neon, grime, and VHS static hiding details at the edge of the frame.

The three demo-famous interiors

1. CCPD — Fluorescent police desks, evidence boards, and opening case work with Slater and Knox.
2. Quick Fix — Hexy’s convenience store aisles, back room stock, and customer loops.
3. Gutters End — Blair’s bowling lanes, machinery hum, and league-night ambience.

Full-game players revisit these spaces with expanded dialogue, collectibles, and harder horror escalations. Beyond the demo trio, the paid release adds interiors such as Underworld VHS—the Scaroline-linked video rental nightmare. Use the chapter checklist if you jump between demo and paid builds.

Characters who anchor each place

Locations and cast pages mirror each other:

• Dick Slater ↔ CCPD and citywide investigation.
• Hexy ↔ Quick Fix.
• Blair ↔ Gutters End.
• The Skin Stapler ↔ crime scenes spanning all three.

Collectibles and evidence by place

Optional audio tapes and case evidence cluster around recurring interiors. Backtrack before chapter transitions if you hunt Steam achievements—see achievement checklist.

Controls and performance per space

Tight aisles need precise keyboard habits from controls keyboard; open lanes need stable FPS from system requirements. Tune settings when flickering lights hide interact icons.

Extra notes for Locations Hub

This section exists so completion-focused readers leave with actions unique to Locations Hub (locations / locations/index.mdx). Reference code e4f714c0 is only for wiki editors tracking revisions—ignore it while playing.

When you finish the beats described above, ask three questions before alt-tabbing away: Did I listen to every tape-like audio cue in the rooms I visited? Did I finish the workplace chores that define this vignette? Did I write down any name that NPCs repeated twice? If any answer is no, roam the last interior again with Keyboard Controls fresh in mind.

For locations pages specifically, keep sibling links open: return to the category hub, then jump to a neighboring article instead of doomscrolling spoilers. Pair progress with the chapter checklist and only open Endings Explained after you personally decide spoilers are acceptable.

Hardware and comfort still matter on a short game. Confirm system requirements, use headphones per Settings Tips, and remember The Skin Stapler is a single-player Steam release from August 6, 2026—single-player only shortcut through Carrion City. If a patch changes input options, re-check the Updates Hub before assuming your old binds.

If you came here from search intent around “Locations Hub”, continue next to either How to Play (mechanics) or the Walkthrough Hub (spoilers on demand). Keep anchors descriptive; never paste bare paths. That discipline is what makes this unofficial wiki useful beyond a single binge night.

Location-first routing for speedrunners

Speedrun and 100% communities often label splits by hub—CCPD desk time versus Quick Fix service loops versus Gutters End perimeter walks. Even if you are casual, thinking in those splits helps when How Long to Beat estimates feel wrong for your play style.
