Ever since the Squidward's Suicide CreepyPasta, the real freakiness of SpongeBob Squarepants has started to become clear. Why do these creatures have sentience? Why is there water underwater at Goo Lagoon? And why the hell is SpongeBob allowed on the road?

All of these are questions we may never have the answers to, but they make for faux-edgy Reddit posts that help to keep the adult hype of the cartoon alive. And now, one video game developer has found a way to push the freakiness of the show to its limits.

What Is The SpongeBob SquarePants Horror Game?

Thanks to developer RenderPi, we finally have the answer for what SpongeBob SquarePants would look like if it were directed by John Carpenter. In a time when survival horrors like Resident Evil and Martha is Dead are all the rage - and with hopes we could soon see another Silent Hill - someone has taken the SpongeBob name and given it a grisly twist.

The True Ingredients stars you (a fish), living in the entirely fictional and not-copyright-inducing Underwearzip City. Your character is so hungry, that they go to the Krunchy Kans restaurant to partake in their signature Human Patties, and of course, absolute terror ensues.

The game features models that replicate the characters of the show, but in a deeply twisted and freaky manner that aggressively exemplifies just how bizarre the cartoon is. The whole game is like those uncomfortable close-up shots they throw into episodes to scare the bejesus out of kids.

The game has recently bagged a big boost in popularity as controversial creator iShowSpeed played it in a video posted to his YouTube channel. If you want to see this twisted version of Bikini Bottom for yourself, all you have to do to bag it is download it from RenderPi's Itch.io site.

The game is on sale for $4.49, and is a quick and easy download from there. If you ever wanted to poke around under the sea and scran some burgers out of human meat at the same time, then there's truly no better way to do it. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Your worst nightmares... apparently.
