Does anyone remember this old Rec Room BYO Gorilla Tag horror game?

Help

I’ve been trying to remember an old Rec Room BYO Gorilla Tag horror game I played a while ago. I think the title was something like “BYO Gorilla Tag: ____” or “BYO: ____.” There were multiple versions, including an older version, newer/remade version, and a behind-the-scenes room. I vaguely remember the creator’s name sounding like RawMeat, but that could be wrong.

The main villain is what I remember best. He was tall, had a black body/coat, no visible legs, hands, and a white skull/mask-like smiling face with pupils in dark eye sockets. He was basically worshipped like a god and had a whole cult with different types/classes of cultists. The cultists wore masks that apparently had hooks keeping them from being removed. He had a giant statue in one of the later levels, and I think his final form was some kind of huge spider/mutant creature. There was also a whiteboard joke with him as the Lorax saying something like “I am the ____ax, I speak for the cultists.”

Other things I remember:

  • The hub had a file room, and the different levels were presented like files.
  • A level where cultists raid someone’s house because they refused to join.
  • Final cult area with a huge building, a basement/dungeon/torture-room type area, and the main villain there.
  • A prison area with cultists and a hook-themed character.
  • A character called Mr. Color, who seemed more important in the older version. I think he was a scientist, had a prison/daycare connection, skinned another character, and may have died.
  • A tall flesh-like character I vaguely remember being called Thomas.
  • A daycare, mall with a mutant police officer, park, and an area with burning garbage.
  • Restaurant with a black shadow/ghost monster.
  • Giant bedroom with huge monster toys.
  • Haunted house.
  • Food place with a laboratory in the back.
  • A creature with a broken cage attached to it and tentacles.
  • A van sequence where the road actually moved and someone chased you on a motorcycle.
  • Nuclear/mutant city with a giant stone/brute creature outside a building.
  • Sewer level with a giant tentacle monster coming out of pipes.
  • A drowned/water monster that appeared in both versions.
  • Arcade with monsters.
  • Mannequin room where some mannequins weren’t real.
  • Huge carnival level with multiple sub-areas.
  • I remember some kind of weekly update board too.

Some of these details could be slightly wrong because it’s been a long time, but if ANY of this sounds familiar, please tell me the game name or the main villain’s name. I’m going insane trying to remember this thing
