We are so excited to share a huge milestone with you — our first ever console title, Interfectorem, is now live on the PlayStation store! This is a dream come true not only for the GMG team, but especially for Avalon, Izzy, Summer and Lucia (Team Who Must Not Be Named), winners of the 2015 National Demo Day.

About the Game

Interfectorem is the story of Alis, a young sheriff-in-training who lives alone with her sister Sali in a small town next to the woods.

Alis decides to go on a hike one day, but comes home to find her younger sister brutally murdered! Overcome with grief and vengeance, Alis embarks on a mission to find her sister's killer by following the trail of bodies the murderer leaves behind. She must return the favor of death!

Interfectorem (which means 'killer' in Latin) is a murder mystery visual novel designed by a game dev team (called the "Team Who Must Not Be Named"), comprising of 4 middle school girls who won the annual Grand Prize at Girls Make Games Demo Day. The game went on to raise over $12K on Kickstarter.

Striking a delightful balance between humor and horror (think Nancy Drew meets Shaun of the Dead), Interfectorem will keep your attention from beginning to end!

Will you be able to solve the case and save yourself before it's too late?!
