About This Game

The Seventh Screening is a heart-pounding survival horror set at the tail end of Hollywood’s Golden Age.  Edge-of-your-seat gameplay blends with high-definition full-motion video, featuring performance and original music by nerdcore YouTube superstar The Stupendium.

December 10th, 1953.

Tonight, Hollywood gathers for the glittering premiere of Farewell From Forever, the directorial debut and final picture of silver screen legend Don Holloway - you.

When the applause fades and the stars leave for the afterparty, you find yourself alone in echoing halls, trapped with the one audience you can never escape: yourself.

You've risked everything to be a star. And tonight, it all comes crashing down.

The Kleos: crown jewel of Sentinel Studios’ cinema empire. Now sold off in the wake of the studio system’s collapse, it stands as an echo of Hollywood’s former glory, grand and decaying in equal measure.

Now, the Kleos has become the stage for your darkest nightmares. Your past bleeds from the screen into reality, and your demons are only a frame away. 

Escape the relentless shadows of your past if you can, using immersive, accessible stealth: brains over brawn.

• As silver screen star Don Holloway, wrestle with your personal demons and save yourself from your past.

• Take creative approaches to evading the dangers hunting you: hide from them, distract them and outwit them, or suffer a gruesome end.

• Enter Don’s cinematic back-catalogue, each one a lovingly realised pastiche of old Hollywood movies.

• Stagger through imposing, gilded art deco environments that warp and twist as your films start bleeding into reality.

• Dig through the secrets and scandals littered in Hollywood's crumbling façade, and piece together the truth about your rise to fame.

Stupendium Softworks is a new, UK-based studio that blends high-production filmmaking, deeply systemic, interactive gameplay, and unhinged worldbuilding. No generative AI, just strange, sincere, deeply human games made by people who care far too much.
