Death Frame

Death Frame is a psychological horror experience where reality fractures with every step. You play as the estranged child of a notorious serial killer, returning to the mansion you’ve inherited after years of silence. Within its rotting walls, you uncover paintings that pull you into fragmented memories and surreal dreamscapes—each revealing a piece of your father's madness, his victims, and maybe… your own bloodstained legacy. As you explore the decaying estate, you'll find three disturbing diaries: a cold list of victims, the terrified final words of a captive, and the spiraling thoughts of a mind consumed by madness. Each reveals a new layer of the truth. But something still lingers in the house. Something watching. Waiting. The game starts as the protagonist steps into the mansion. He talks about his feelings and what lead him here while the game starts. As you explore the rotting halls the protagonist's voice breaks through - an uncertain, reflective monologue. Disgust. Grief. Morbid curiosity. You reach a large, locked door on the second floor. Beside it, the walls are lined with unsettling paintings—each one seems to watch you as you pass. They tell a story. A scared child. A cruel father. Hints of trauma painted in symbols and shadows. You search the mansion for answers. In a forgotten wing, you find it: a massive painting stretching nearly floor to ceiling. As you approach, the world around you distort and suddenly - you’re pulled in. The painting pulled you into an underwater labyrinth drenched in blue-green light. This is no dream—it's a broken memory of your father's childhood. You move through this dreamspace - walking, jumping, falling through currents and flooded chambers. Along the way, glowing shards float in the air. When touched, each shard reveals a fragment of your father’s thoughts: his fear, confusion, and the day he nearly drowned at the hands of his own father. You hear your father talk like he is telling you about his thoughts and feelings back then. The deeper you go, the more monstrous the world becomes. Eyes blink from the walls. And teeth are growing out if the walls. Finally, you find the exit and return to the mansion. As you exit the memory from the painting you find a rusted old key right next to it. Was is already there before? With it, the second floor awaits—more doors, more paintings, several diaries of the killer and the victims, more memories and broken dimensions that pull you into the mystery. Each level also features its very own gameplay twist. Some are more platform focused, while others feature environmental riddles, again others are on rail levels that require fast decision making.
