Buy The Filmmaker - A Text Adventure PC key

The Filmmaker - A Text Adventure is a choice-driven adventure about Brianna, a young fan of low-budget B-movies. After the Carson Stiles Gateway Theater closes following a series of gruesome murders, Brianna receives an invitation to its grand reopening. She had often visited the theater with her recently deceased father, and soon finds herself caught up in more than she expected.

The theater and its films

You explore the haunted theater and enter five distinct black-and-white films, each with its own locations, visuals, music and puzzles. Together, they reveal a connection between the murders. The films are:

• A Detective Story: a film noir tale about a down-on-his-luck detective.
• The Count: a horror story about a young maiden captured by an evil vampire.
• The Fuzzies: a cartoon about a small village of rabbit-like creatures.
• Aliens from Mars!: a science-fiction story about a war with the Martians.
• Primal Atmosfear: an action thriller about a new man-eating predator.

Choices and puzzles

The game combines interactive fiction, visual novel and gamebook elements in a graphic interface styled after early-1990s text adventures. Instead of a text parser, you choose from context-specific menus. A compass lets you travel between rooms, while separate inventory, map, journal and character screens are available at the press of a button.

Your choices determine how the story unfolds. You explore locations, interact with items, meet characters and solve puzzles, while helping Brianna come to terms with her father's loss. The game has two endings, determined by your actions.

Artwork and content

The game includes over 400 pieces of original artwork and an hour-long soundtrack. It offers more than six hours of content, 25 achievements and a post-game bonus scene that you can unlock.
