Booth Butcher

Booth Butcher is a slasher game about Dana, a freelance security technician hired to install a new camera and software system at the Plaza Imperial, a fading grindhouse cinema on the edge of town. The job is meant to take one night, but something that has been living in the building knows Dana is there. As she installs the system and turns on the lights, each completed task takes her deeper into the cinema and closer to what is hunting her.

The Plaza Imperial

You explore the lobby, auditoriums, projection booths and basement of the fading 1984 cinema, whose history someone has worked hard to bury. You mount security cameras and install software at terminals as you move through the building.

Survive the night

When the night corners Dana, you hide, run and try to survive. What you do in the final minutes determines whether she walks out or becomes the Booth Butcher’s next attraction. Five visual filters let you view the game in VHS, CRT, 35mm grindhouse, black and white, or clean styles.

Retro minigames

The theater arcade contains two playable retro minigames:

• Dead Summer: A text-based slasher adventure set at Camp Pinewood, featuring a quiet man and several ways to die.
• Dead Zone: A retro arcade zombie shooter.
