Knife Man

Knife Man stands out among typical horror games; it’s not just about running from a killer. Instead, the game places you in the professional role of both a director and a cinematographer.

Storyline: The Blurred Line Between Fiction and Truth

It all starts when three friends decide to film a horror movie in a ruined house, focusing on the mystery of the Knife Man. They say if you say his name three times to a mirror, he appears.

Taking on the role of the cinematographer, you guide the actors and set the stage for fear. But the line between "make-believe" and "truth" fades when the baseless rumors they’re filming turn into genuine, unexplained occurrences.

Basic Controls

Master your camera equipment with these essential commands:

  • Move (WASD): Navigate, sprint, or crouch for the perfect shot.
  • Look (Mouse): Control your field of vision and camera direction.
  • Film (LMB): Capture key scenes.
  • Zoom (Scroll): Toggle between tight close-ups and wide cinematic shots.
  • Playback: Review your clips to determine if you need another take.

    • Pro Tips: Crafting Your Viral Masterpiece

    To maximize your impact in Knife Man, you must think like a true filmmaker rather than a typical gamer.

    Choose the Right Camera Angles

    Each scene demands a specific technique:

  • Dialogue Scenes: Keep the camera steady and focus on the actors' facial expressions.
  • Chase Scenes: Use "Handheld" techniques—move dynamically with the characters to create a sense of urgency and tension.
  • Horror Scenes: Utilize low angles or long shots to suggest that "something" is lurking in the shadows.

    • Pacing Management

    The game is divided into segments: from the opening scene and the ritual before the mirror to the frantic escape through narrow corridors. Pay attention to the control panel prompts to know when to speed up or stay still to capture the shot.

    Don’t Shy Away from Retakes

    If the footage is blurry, excessively shaky, or an actor falls out of frame, use the retake feature. This realistic simulation allows you to polish every frame until it meets perfection.
