Description

Someone has to count the dead bodies! Death Counters are in charge of that haunting job! You play as unnamed operatives from 1939–1959, infiltrating forbidden labs to film corpses and unseen horrors. Watch Death Counters react in real-time to your gameplay footage.

SECOND-PERSON PERSPECTIVE

You play as a cameraman from the past, filming horrors—watching Death Counters react in real-time to your footage.

ATMOSPHERE

A dark merge of two art styles, periods, and settings. One captured in haunting films of forbidden labs, the other a shadowy office where Death Counters view them. Spirits sealed in the footage break into the office, moving from past to present, altering objects and unsettling players with dark paranormal chaos.

STORY

In 1963, the CIA began rating its archived classified footage based on the deaths captured on them. Each rating process had to be documented on camera by an assigned agent, whom they later called a "Death Counter."

Four 8mm films, shot by unnamed operatives between 1939 and 1959, were prepared for evaluation. This game is the complete process, as recorded by the Death Counters tasked with evaluating those haunting footage.

GAMEPLAY

You play as unnamed operatives from the past, tasked with filming the insides of secret laboratories worldwide between 1939 and 1959.

A Death Counter watches your footage in real-time and reacts based on what you show her on the screen.

Your goal is to capture as many deaths as possible on film, ensuring the Death Counter sees them by filming corpses, unseen horrors, and beyond, to maximize her recorded death count.

Developer

On February 17, 2011, a gamer, haunted by a dream, vowed to make it his life’s mission
to create unique and uncommon games.

For ten years, he labored in companies, crafting clone games to fund his first solo project.
He resigned on March 1, 2021, to dedicate himself to his cursed vision.

Three years later, the project ART IS RIFLE was complete—a triumph of creation,
yet a failure in reaching the world.


Pride in his work turned to torment, as darkness invaded his soul and stayed.
From that darkness, “Death Counter” was born.
