Manivore places players in the role of a lone investigator thrown into a series of disappearances that quickly spiral into something far more personal and terrifying. The suspect, known only by that one name, leaves no fingerprints or trails—just cryptic remnants of what used to be human lives. This killer doesn’t simply hide bodies. He removes their identity, reduces them to pieces of a scene that tells a story only he understands. The player’s task is to unravel this grim narrative before becoming part of it.
The investigation begins at silent, desolate crime scenes. Players must use a camera to uncover details that aren’t visible otherwise. Walls that seem blank may hide drawings, marks, or stains that only appear through the lens. In some moments, shadows captured by the camera don’t match those in the room. The act of photography becomes both essential and dangerous.
Manivore’s gameplay combines environmental exploration with puzzle-solving. Players are encouraged to search every corner, opening drawers, inspecting unusual patterns, or examining old notes left behind. The atmosphere is built around unease, not action. Each level challenges you to interpret your surroundings rather than rush through them. Often, progression relies on connecting subtle pieces of information—an object out of place, a sound too soft, or a pattern that repeats itself.
Key features include:
Rather than relying on direct scares, Manivore builds fear through suggestion and silence. The spaces you explore are quiet but not empty. Sounds of shifting footsteps or distant dragging hint at something always nearby. The killer is not a figure to chase or flee from; he’s present in the design of the world itself, in the paintings, the markings, and even the placement of objects.
Manivore is a game that examines horror from the inside out. It places players in a vulnerable position, forcing them to engage with a mind that sees art where others see tragedy. The game’s darker elements—its focus on death, consumption, and psychological disintegration—are not inserted for shock but are part of the killer’s logic. The further the player descends, the clearer it becomes that solving the mystery might require giving something up in return.
