Fantasmagorie

“It’s simple enough to make the puppets move–that’s not what makes them special. You see, when children watch our shows, they believe what they’re seeing is real. To them, the puppets are alive.”

Journey through a distorted puppet theatre held together by the fragile mind of a grieving puppet master. Take the stage as Viviette—a music box ballerina who's mysteriously free from the puppet master's control.

Danger looms around every corner, filling the workshop, backstage, and stage of this theatre with perilous threats. With only a needle and thread by your side, you must swing, climb, and manipulate objects to progress, all while evading twisted and terrifying puppets along the way. Follow the guidance of a mysterious spirit to uncover fragmented memories from the past, revealing more about the one pulling the strings.

Shatter the delusion and uncover the truth behind it all.

Fantasmagorie is a free 30 minute narrative game created by a team of students. Uncover the story by exploring 3 levels and encountering 3 bosses along the way. Your download will include the full game experience, with a save system and settings for sound/graphics.
