A text-based horror interactive fiction about a cursed grindhouse actress returning to the studio lot that ruined her. Make choices through seven genre-bending wings, survive the damage, resist the corruption, and chase one of eight endings.
SOME SCREAM QUEENS GET A STAR ON THE WALK OF FAME. VERA KESSLER GOT A CURSE.
Twenty years ago, grindhouse queen Vera Kessler walked onto Stage 4 to shoot the last scene of the most ambitious picture of her career. The director wanted it real. The prop department found him a mask older than the studio, older than cinema, older than anyone's good sense. Nobody called cut.
Now she's walking back through the gate of a studio lot that never really stopped shooting. The face in the broken glass hasn't aged a day. Something under it has been waiting for her to come home.
FINAL CUT is a text-based horror interactive fiction written with a deep, undying love for the drive-in, the grindhouse and the midnight movie. Every wing of the abandoned lot is a different exploitation genre made real, and every genre has a role it's going to try to cast her in.SEVEN WINGS. SEVEN GENRES. ONE MASK. The Slasher Wing
The Cult / Occult Wing
The Mad Science / Body Horror Wing
The Creature Feature Wing
The Zombie / Undead Wing
The Captivity / Torture Wing, where it all began
The Final ActHOW IT PLAYS Every choice has a cost. Track the damage Vera is taking and the corruption creeping in. Mercy or cruelty, restraint or rage: the mask is keeping score.
Dig up what they buried. Find the evidence that exposes who covered up what happened that night, or don't.
Eight endings. From walking out on your own legs to becoming the monster they always cast you as.
Over 17,000 words of branching story, built to be replayed.
Autosaves at the start of every chapter, plus manual saves ("Takes") any time.
Content note: FINAL CUT deals with industry exploitation, sustained psychological horror and violence, and implies (without depicting) sexual assault. It is entirely text-based, with no graphic imagery.
