About This Game

If you're looking for good jumpscares and a rich story... you’ve come to the wrong kitchen.

  • But if you like your horror slow, personal, and quietly disturbing—come closer. The oven’s still warm.

About This Game:

The Kitchen Knife is a psychological horror game that throws you into the fragmented mind of a man haunted by memory, guilt, and something much darker. As the world shifts around you, you must uncover the truth about that morning, your missing family… and yourself.

Explore a home that twists reality, plays tricks on time, and feeds off emotion. Uncover journals, police reports, and personal belongings that reveal what happened—or what you think happened. But be careful.

The deeper you dig, the more the house digs into you.

Key Features:

  • Psychological Terror – A descent into guilt, memory, and trauma. No zombies or monsters—just the horror of your own mind.

  • Narrative-Driven Exploration – Explore a single, looping location where reality warps and memories bleed through.

  • Fragmented Storytelling  Uncover journals, police files, and personal artifacts that change with each loop.

  • A Short but Haunting Experience – Play through a focused psychological horror story in 30–90 minutes.

  • A House That Remembers – Explore a home that changes with memory, emotion, and guilt.

  • Storytelling Through Objects – Discover notes, journal entries, fridge poems, and more to piece together the truth.

  • Eerie Environmental Audio – Whispers, creaks, and lullabies guide (or mislead) your steps.

  • Light Exploration and Puzzle Solving – No combat. Just you, the house, and what’s left behind.

  • A Few Cheap Jumpscares – They're not great, but they’ll still get you.

  • Minimal UI, No Handholding – There's a tutorial… but the house won’t explain itself.
