Still
Rolling

A father filmed his family every day for a home movie that never got an ending. He is still in the house.

Search it for the missing reels, splice his film in the cellar and get out, while he hunts you by every sound you make.

Scene 1

Number 9, Marrow Lane

He called the film OUR HAPPY HOME. He directed his family like actors, take after take, and whoever spoiled a take was cut: out of the photographs, then out of the house.

The film never got an ending. He is still there, a huge man in a stitched sack hood who drags the shears he cuts with. The street calls him the Cutter.

You come in through the garden gate carrying a camera, and the chain closes behind you. It opens only when his film is finished.

What you do

  1. Read the call sheet

    It lists the reels his film is missing, and what you have already found.

  2. Search the house

    Pull out drawers, open cupboards, trunks and boxes. Some are locked, and the key is in another room, in another drawer.

  3. Carry the reels to the cellar

    One at a time, down the stairs, to his splicing table. Everything you drop makes a noise.

  4. Finish his film

    Fuel, a fuse, a lamp and a lens: his projector needs more than reels before it will run.

  5. Get out

    When his film runs, the chain falls off the gate. He comes down to watch it with you.

Scene 3

What hunts you

He hunts by sound. A drawer pulled too fast, a door left to swing, a reel dropped on the boards: he hears it, and he comes.

You hear him first. The shears dragged along the wall, one snip when he stops to listen, his breathing on the other side of the wardrobe door. Hide, but never twice in the same place. He remembers where you hid.

The house runs on his calls. “Action!” and the lamps slam on and he comes. “Cut.” and there is darkness while the house is re-dressed. When the light comes back, the doors and the furniture are not where they were.

If he catches you, your camera keeps rolling from the floor.

On your phone

Made for thumbs, and for headphones

A stick under your left thumb, the camera under your right. Your camera has a lamp and night vision, and both drain its battery. The lamp is light. Night vision is not, and some things in the house care about the difference.

A good take lasts a quarter of an hour or more. Where the reels lie, which drawers are locked and some of his habits change every time you play.
