What is MOTORSLICE?
MOTORSLICE is a third-person action-adventure where you play as P, a sleepy “Slicer” armed with a chainsaw, partnered with a malfunctioning orb drone named Orbie. You parkour through a brutalist post-apocalyptic megastructure, climb massive heavy-machine bosses, and slice them apart from the inside.
Movement is fluid but deliberate — wall runs, slides, swings, and chainsaw-anchored traversal stitch together every encounter. Combat is fast and brutal: you die in a few hits, and so do enemies. Parries open every fight, including bosses.
With 8 chapters, 8 colossal bosses, 30+ fully-voiced “slacking scenes”, and a banger Pizza Hotline DnB OST, it sits in the same DNA family as Ghostrunner, Mirror's Edge and SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS — but distilled into a tight 10-hour run.

Stuck on Day One? Honest answers.
Pulled from Reddit, Steam reviews and TheXboxHub — these are the most common pain points new players hit, with a straight answer.
A: No, that's intentional. MOTORSLICE is weighty by design — every jump is a deliberate decision. Stop spamming jump and start aiming wall runs. After Chapter 2, the rhythm clicks.
A: Time a charged (heavy) attack against a glowing/orange incoming attack. Saws, blades and limbs are all parry-able. Look for the orange tint — that is always the parry signal.
A: Yes — there is an official free demo on Steam. Use the “Free Demo / Buy” tab in the player above on this page.
A: Almost every weak point requires you to JUMP into it first, then press attack mid-air. You don't ‘run up’ to it — you anchor with the chainsaw. If you fall, look for an orange beam or pole nearby.
