My first Puppet Combo game
5Nun Massacre, also alternatively known as Night of the Nun, is a 2018 survival horror game developed by Puppet Combo. The game can be downloaded from Puppet Combo's Patreon and on Itch.io. In 2021, the game received a novelization. The same year on October, the game was released on Android and iOS mobile devices. On 24th March 2022, the game was released on PlayStation 4/5, and Nintendo Switch consoles. The game was later released on Xbox on May 31, 2022.
On May 31, 2022, Puppet Combo released a free content update called The Definitive Edition, introducing three additional storylines, new killers, as well as visual and performance improvements. The update was later released on June 2nd for the home consoles.
It is commonly believed that the Nun's appearance was inspired by Valak, the main antagonist of the 2018 horror film The Nun. which similarly takes the form of a nun while terrorizing a remote Catholic institution in the countryside. Despite the parallels, Ben Cocuzza initially stated that this was false, as he had been unaware of the movie during early development. While true, Cocuzza later said that he did take inspiration from The Nun's basic premise while working on a Power Drill Massacre sequel, eventually conceptualizing Nun Massacre and advertising it with regards to the movie, as seen in the majority of Puppet Combo's promotional social media posts under #TheNun, which was at least partially done due to the movie's massive pre-release hype, not unlike the several rip-off movies (The Bad Nun, The Curse of the Nun etc.) released shortly before The Nun.
