About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Kuromaku | 黒幕 is an indie story driven first-person psychological thriller experienced through the perspective of a child left alone for three days. Complete everyday routines, uncover secrets, and endure unsettling encounters as your choices shape how the story unfolds Ahead.

KUROMAKU

A VHS-style psychological thriller inspired by Fears to Fathom and Chilla’s Art. Ordinary routines become your only defense against a creeping, unseen horror in this slow-burn 1990s-inspired thriller.

Kuromaku is a narrative-focused first-person horror experience built around isolation, domestic realism, and psychological tension. Rather than relying on constant spectacle, the game draws fear from silence, subtle environmental shifts, and the growing feeling that something inside the house is watching.

About the Game

Kuromaku is a first-person psychological horror experience centered around immersion, exploration, and player-driven outcomes.

    The more routine life becomes, the more unsettling the changes feel.

    Exploration & Environmental Storytelling

    Search the house and surrounding areas. Examine objects. Pay attention to subtle details. The environment evolves over time, revealing clues and hidden implications. Lighting, ambient sound, and environmental tension shift across the three days, transforming safe domestic spaces into oppressive environments.

    Multiple Endings

    Different choices lead to different conclusions.
    Not every truth is meant to be uncovered. Your reactions determine how events unfold.
    Confront the presence. Ignore it. Investigate further.

    Every decision influences the final outcome.
