About Through the Kill Screen
Through the Kill Screen is an adventure RPG with horror and thriller elements set in small-town Britain. You play as Leon, a mischievous boy enjoying his 1980s childhood, until he and his friends play a computer game so well that they break through its Kill Screen and uncover a terrible secret. The story moves between whimsy, dark humour and danger, and has multiple endings.
Snoring Town
Explore Snoring Town, where secrets hide around every corner and in unexpected places, including cereal boxes, the u-bend and the washing machine. Along the way, you can meet Pebble, the famous boxer from the Pebble films, bond with the local moggies and play Knock Down Ginger.
Leon's development
Build Leon's Cheekiness, Imagination, Finger Speed and Goody Goody stats. These affect his final adult form.
Style and music
The game features bright, colourful pixel art and 8-bit-style chiptunes by a variety of composers.
