It's probably not a horror game in the way you think it is. But it will probably be revealed that your eating parts of people when eating bugsnax. But I wouldn't be surprised if this too was revealed in a cartoonish bright and colorful way. I would be disappointed if this game was actually a PSA about eating animal's. Now THAT I would be upset about.
