The Cinema Rosa

The Cinema Rosa is a story-driven adventure set in an abandoned art deco cinema haunted by ghosts. You explore its halls, solve puzzles and uncover the history of the cinema and the two lovers who bought it as a passion project. Their relationship unfolds alongside the cinema’s decline in two parallel narratives, exploring loss, romance, nostalgia and regret through the psychological effects of a relationship.

Explore the cinema

As you investigate, you find clues in handwritten notes, postcards, phones and other objects. Examine items and explore the cinema’s lore, collect objects for puzzles, and work out how to use them. The puzzles test your logic and skill, and discoveries around the cinema reveal more of its history.

The game world changes as you progress. Rooms can be rebuilt and restored, giving you control over the environment. Ghosts, haunted rooms, dynamic environments and cinematic cut-scenes shape the experience, alongside references to classic cinema and Hollywood. The music is inspired by Bioshock.

Story and playtime

The story takes about 2–3 hours to play. You can bring peace to the haunted halls and restore the cinema, or see it fall into ruin and decay.
