About This Game

THE JOB WAS SIMPLE. INSTALL THE CAMERAS. DON’T ASK WHY THEY WANT THEM.

Dana is a freelance security technician hired for one night: install a new camera and software system at the Plaza Imperial, a fading grindhouse cinema on the edge of town. Quiet building. Easy money. In and out by morning.

It doesn’t go that way.

Something’s been living in the Plaza Imperial long before Dana walked in and now that she’s turned the lights on, it knows she’s here. Every camera mounted, every system installed, pulls her deeper into a building that was never as empty as the contract said.

ROLL THE FILM

BOOTH BUTCHER is a raw, atmospheric slasher experience inspired by the filthiest 80s exploitation cinema and the lo-fi grit of the VHS era.

  • Mount security cameras. Run software installs at every terminal. Every task completed is another step deeper into the dark, and another step closer to what’s hunting you.

  • Explore the lobby, the auditoriums, the projection booths, and the basement of a fading 1984 cinema with a history someone worked hard to bury.

  • Five visual filters: VHS, CRT, 35mm grindhouse, black & white, or clean, so you can watch your own death in exactly the grain you want.

  • Hide. Run. Survive. When the night finally corners you, what you do in those final minutes decides whether you walk out or become the Booth Butcher’s next attraction.

DOUBLE FEATURE

Two playable retro minigames, because even a killer needs a smoke break:

DEAD SUMMER: A text-based slasher adventure. Camp Pinewood. A quiet man. Several extremely bad ways to die.

DEAD ZONE: A retro arcade zombie shooter, tucked away in the theater arcade for anyone who needs a break from being the one getting hunted.

THE CURTAIN IS RISING. WILL YOU SURVIVE THE FINAL CUT?
