Cult: Manos

About the Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

Cult: MANOS is a loving homage to the Z-class cult movies that are so bad, they become art. We took the legendary Manos: The Hands of Fate and did the only logical thing: remade it as a game where every infamous flaw is now a feature.

For decades, we laughed at the silence. The glitches. The bizarre acting. We thought they were mistakes.

We were wrong.

Cult: MANOS is a psychological survival horror game hidden beneath a comedy. Peel back the camp and discover what Margaret was really experiencing—and why she needed you to laugh.

Led by industry veterans, this is a handcrafted passion project designed to get under your skin. It honors the source material's bizarre charm, then peels it back to show you why comedy is the ultimate defense mechanism.

The survivors are waiting for you to discover the true meaning of Manos: the god of primal darkness.

"I look forward to seeing it." — Jackey Raye Neyman Jones, the original Debbie (1966)

Features

• A Film Reimagined: Relive the plot of the cult classic Manos: The Hands of Fate in a 2D puzzle-adventure format that explores the story's hidden psychological depths.

• Flaws as Features: Experience a unique gameplay loop where the original movie's technical failures—out-of-focus shots, awkward acting, and poor sound—are your core mechanics.

• Handcrafted Analog Horror: Uncover a hidden narrative of trauma and abuse, presented through a distorted and unsettling VHS aesthetic. Every visual and sound is meticulously designed to evoke the feeling of a lost, cursed videotape—no AI shortcuts, just pure analog dread.
