Saw
Windows - 2009
Description of Saw
Description from the publisher:
Jigsaw has killed your partner and destroyed your life. Now he has trapped you in an abandoned insane asylum that he alone controls. If you can defeat his brutal traps and survive, you may just discover the truth behind what drives this twisted serial killer.
SAW is a third-person perspective, survival horror game based on the SAW film franchise, which has grossed more than $665M worldwide and sold more than 28 million DVDs. The game features many of the deadly mechanical traps seen in the film, as well as terrifying new ones. Players will pit their wits against Jigsaw as they navigate his world in an attempt to evade and escape his gruesome traps, while also struggling against his minions in brutal combat by using weapons found within the environment.
SAW, the video game, is based on a treatment from Zombie Studios and the creators of the SAW franchise, Leigh Whannell and James Wan. The timeline for the game takes place between the movies: SAW and SAW II, giving the game its own story, yet fitting within the narratives of the movies. The story centers on Detective David Tapp who awakens in a decrepit, abandoned asylum. He has been captured by his longtime nemesis, Jigsaw. Obsessed with catching this serial killer, Tapp’s mission has consumed him and ruined his family, resulting in divorce, mental imbalance, and abandonment. Worse yet, this frantic hunt destroyed Tapp’s career while he watched his long-time friend and partner get killed by one of Jigsaw’s traps.
Now Jigsaw has the upper hand and has captured the detective. Tapp must play a deadly game—the likes of which he has been investigating for years—to escape, and in order to do so he must survive the lethal traps and puzzles that Jigsaw has put in place for him and others. But each victim has a dark connection to Tapp. Will Tapp save them? Can he survive his obsession to find the Jigsaw killer?

How to play Saw Windows
Repacks has full game content but some non-gameplay videos (intros, credits, developer diaries, demo videos) may have been deleted to reduce the size of the installer
Install & play guide:
- Mount the disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 102% or Daemon Tools Lite
- If you're installing the repack - simply click on setup.exe
- Install the game
- Also it is recommended to install DirectX, PhysX, OpenAL, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 - 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework
- Optionally install NoDVD
- Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't run - open the directory with the game and find SawGame.exe. Right click on SawGame.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7".
- The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit, works fine
Troubleshooting:
- The game supports Vsync and resolutions like 1366x768 but you will not find the settings in menu. If you can't find desired resolution in Options or want to enable Vsync - setup it manually through .ini-file, for instructions check PCGamingWiki page
- If game shows error during launch - try to do next steps: delete the game, delete PhysX, after that install the game again but this time don't install PhysX. Then try to launch the game from desktop shortcut, it should work
- Also - it is recommended to update sound card drivers and reduce sound quality to 48000Hz or less (the game has been verified to work at 24 bit, 44100 Hz). For more technical details check this thread

Got malware from this. Malwarebytes detected it. It was starting to brick my computer after running for a few weeks.

@CoolytheGamer What is the Cut Content of this Version ? and Did You try The emulator one ?

@METALELF85 RAVEESO is not the problem and that goes for the website too. It is a good idea to save all the original material and include the cracked exe file as it makes it simpler and easier to do, I think I can safely say for everyone that all we want is a safe and easy working game to install.

Works fine to me, thing is you have to install as administrator first - then copy over the crack from the crack folder!

@RAVESO You should put your hand in your pocket and go buy the game then instead of thinking you are entitled to comment something like that.
You are the problem, not the website.

I keep getting an error copied to my clipboard after I install it, and apply the cracked .exe. It goes to my clipboard, here it is.
General protection fault!

Is the 3.1 GB download the full version including non-gameplay videos?
raveso 2023-02-19 -12 points
What's the point of this website if you ruin the games by removing content from the games like videos? Also preinstalled uploads are always garbage. I want the original installer DVD with crack included in separate folder.

Hey, thanks a lot for the info. :) In regards to Cursed Mountain, I saw that it is on Amazon but was hesitant about the download part. Tried to find the thing on DVD on PC since it was ported in Europe from the Wii, but no such luck with my local retailers. Oh well, I will keep searching. Cheers!
