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 32-bit apps being delisted by Apple if they weren't eligible to transition to 64-bit. The following reasons were later debunked, as the reason explained was that 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 – with well-done being the most “gentle” 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.
