Smiling Terror is a fixed-camera horror game in PSX style, inspired by the classics of the genre. It will be released in chapters – and Chapter 1 is already available in Early Access. Once the project reaches a solid level of stability (based on your feedback and the number of players), our goal is to release new chapters to expand the story with fresh content, new dangers, and many surprises. Will you be able to escape and survive The Smiler?

Plot

Exhausted after an endless workday, our Protagonist drifts asleep during her usual subway ride home. When her eyes flutter open, a chilling realization sets in - she’s somehow ended up in the train depot, far beyond the last stop. The hollow silence is broken only by the erratic buzzing of dying neon lights. She’s completely alone. Or so she desperately hopes. An unnerving sensation of being watched crawls up her spine. The Smiler - the infamous serial killer who murders and violates his victims - still roams free. The only known detail? He wears a mask frozen in a grotesque, haunting smile that promises unspeakable horrors.
