Description

Shoot to Kill is a 16-bit, 16mm adventure game set in the golden age of Hollywood. Taking on the role of a detective immersed in a gritty L.A noir, players investigate a series of murders on a big Hollywood set, racing against time to find the killer before the entire cast and crew wind up in the morgue.

Incorporating interactive filmic elements as part of play, Shoot to Kill explores the relationship between film and video games while challenging the ways the two mediums are often combined. Inspired by silent era film, one of the game's core innovative mechanics controls character interaction and dialogue through an intertitle interface, allowing players to choose between multiple branching options. This means every player gets a unique experience based on their choices.
