Relive the days of classic gaming with  The Filmmaker , a puzzle\-filled text adventure that pays tribute to the classic, cheesy Hollywood B\-Movie\! About  The Filmmaker  combines the best elements of interactive fiction, visual novels, and gamebooks with a graphic user interface that emulates the look of early 1990s text adventures\. It features beautiful artwork and cinematic music\. In place of a text parser is a context\-specific multiple choice menu\. A compass allows you to travel from room to room, and separate inventory, map, journal, and character screens are available at the push of a button\.  It plays like an interactive novel\. You make choices that determine what happens next in the story\. But unlike in traditional gamebooks and visual novels,  The Filmmaker  also features more advanced adventure\-based game mechanics, including locations to explore, items to interact with, characters to meet, and puzzles to solve\. Story The Carson Stiles Gateway Theater was once the hotspot of town, featuring its own series of low\-budget B\-movies produced by renowned filmmaker Claude Ferucil\.  Unfortunately, the theater closed several months ago after a series of gruesome murders\. This came as a huge disappointment to Brianna, a young B\-movie buff who faithfully attended every new showing with her recently\-passed father\.  Imagine Brianna’s surprise then, when she received a letter in the mail inviting her to the theater’s grand re\-opening\. Little did she realize, however, that she was in for a bit more than she bargained for\.\.\. Features   EXPLORE a haunted theater   ENTER five distinct black\-and\-white films   DISCOVER the terrifying link behind a series of gruesome murders   HELP Brianna overcome the loss of her father   SOLVE a multitude of challenging puzzles   ENJOY over 400 pieces of original artwork and an hour\-long soundtrack   EXPERIENCE two different endings, depending on your actions in the game   UNLOCK 25 achievements to view a special post\-game bonus scene   PLAY 6\+ hours of content\-\-a true “B\-movie” experience\!
