KINOPHOBIA is a parser game about exorcising ghosts, becoming a rabid cinephile, and the terrible price of success.
A 'database thriller' inspired by games like Return of the Obra Dinn, The Roottrees are Dead and Immortality, covered head to toe in blood.
An intricate investigation into the lives and deaths of dozens of characters. Read documents, do in-depth research, get help from online movie sickos, and maybe employ a little magic.
An entire parallel history of cinema to uncover, from 1970s New Hollywood to 1990s schlock and sleaze.
Manhandle cursed objects and murder weapons. Dissociate into hallucinatory vistas of grotesque horror. Throw up so hard you expire.
Includes a web-based interpreter, a short introductory manual for those new to the parser genre, a diegetic map, and in-game hints. Approximately six hours of play.
