'''''Charlie, The Steak''''' was an iOS game that was published and developed by DynamicDust's Sebastian Hadl in 2013. The game gained meme attention in early 2024 due to memes being made about the game's titular character Charlie. The game has since been delisted from the App Store, likely due to its usage of gore, DynamicDust going out of business or 32bit apps being delisted by Apple if they weren't eligible to transition to 64bit.

Charlie, The Steak was an iOS game that was published and developed by DynamicDust's Sebastian Hadl in 2013. The game gained meme attention in early 2024 due to memes being made about the game's titular character Charlie. The game has since been delisted from the App Store, likely due to its usage of gore, DynamicDust going out of business or 32bit apps being delisted by Apple if they weren't eligible to transition to 64bit. The following reasons were later debunked, as the reason explained was because DynamicDust had to go out of business & stop supporting updates.[1] There were 4 modes of torturing Charlie in the game, with Well-Done, Medium, Rare and Raw β with well-done being the most βgentleβ one and raw being the most aggressive and wildest one. The game was last updated on July 2, 2015.[2] The game took inspiration from the Talking Tom series.
Availability
For awhile, no IPA files have surfaced of the game, probably because it was iOS only. People claim to have a fan-port of the game installed on Android, but no official APK was ever made out of the game, since DynamicDust hasn't released the game on Android devices. There are several review videos out of the game that are available to watch on YouTube. An IPA file of the game had yet to be dumped and uploaded online. Later on, developer Sebastian Hadl confirmed on his Reddit account that a re-release of the game could be coming soon after a discussion about looking through the source code to update it so it could comply with the new App Store guidelines.
On August 2nd, 2024, Archive.org user Dipper Gaming uploaded the iPad ROM of the game to the Internet Archive.[3]
The iPhone ROM of the game has yet to be found, but Sebastian Hadl confirmed the original files would be released.
