About This Game
The Kitchen Knife is a psychological horror game that throws you into the fragmented mind of a man haunted by memory, guilt, and something much darker. As the world shifts around you, you must uncover the truth about that morning, your missing family… and yourself.
Explore a home that twists reality, plays tricks on time, and feeds off emotion. Uncover journals, police reports, and personal belongings that reveal what happened—or what you think happened. But be careful.
The deeper you dig, the more the house digs into you.
