About this game
After agreeing to take on what seems like a mundane story about the unique city and its planned road bridge, journalist James Maynard finds himself uncovering a disturbing underbelly to the local customs, and a hideous core to the notion of Venetian pride. Not even the might of Mussolini can truly kill the Carnival. Winner of Best Lines of Dialogue - Adventure Games Of The Year 2025. Carnival is an atmospheric folk horror point-&-click set in a time of European upheaval, where the past and the future collide. The protagonist must struggle with narcolepsy and its effect on both his memory and perception of the increasingly twisted reality around him. The game features atmospheric low-resolution pixel art graphics, multiple locations drawn from Venice itself, and developing relationships with NPCs, allowing the player to influence events in the game and achieve multiple different endings. Carnival now also features the full soundtrack (over three hours of atmospheric soundscapes), playable through Steam, for free! Developed by Beyond Booleans, creator of Abscission, winner of three AGS awards.
