About this game

This demo is a free slice of a bigger project. Wishlist Booth Butcher so you don't miss the full release!

Play as Jessica, a night shift worker at the Starlight Theater. Unlock the doors, check the rooms, clock out by morning. Simple enough.

But tonight Sarah hasn't shown up. The manager isn't answering. And something is moving through the walls.

There are no weapons. There is no backup.

THE JOB WAS SIMPLE. INSTALL THE CAMERAS. DON'T ASK WHY THEY WANT THEM.

Dana is a freelance security technician hired for one night: install a new camera and software system at the Plaza Imperial, a fading grindhouse cinema on the edge of town. Quiet building. Easy money. In and out by morning.

It doesn't go that way.

Something's been living in the Plaza Imperial long before Dana walked in and now that she's turned the lights on, it knows she's here. Every camera mounted, every system installed, pulls her deeper into a building that was never as empty as the contract said.

BOOTH BUTCHER is a raw, atmospheric slasher experience inspired by the filthiest 80s exploitation cinema and the lo-fi grit of the VHS era.

  • A JOB TO FINISH: Mount security cameras. Run software installs at every terminal. Every task completed is another step deeper into the dark and another step closer to what's hunting you.

  • THE PLAZA IMPERIAL: Explore the lobby, the auditoriums, the projection booths, and the basement of a fading 1984 cinema with a history someone worked hard to bury.

  • CHOOSE YOUR STATIC: Five visual filters: VHS, CRT, 35mm grindhouse, black & white, or clean so you can watch your own death in exactly the grain you want.

  • NO WAY OUT BUT THROUGH: Hide. Run. Survive. When the night finally corners you, what you do in those final minutes decides whether you walk out or become the Booth Butcher's next attraction.

Also includes two playable retro minigames because even a killer needs a smoke break:

DEAD SUMMER: A text-based slasher adventure. Camp Pinewood. A quiet man. Several extremely bad ways to die.

DEAD ZONE: A retro arcade zombie shooter, tucked away in the theater arcade for anyone who needs a break from being the one getting hunted.

THE CURTAIN IS RISING. WILL YOU SURVIVE THE FINAL CUT?
