Golborne, England - April 8th 2022- The Numbered Entity Project: James K. Isaac unshackles his new adventure-thriller-RPG Through the Kill Screen, for PC and Linux, available on Steam. Can anyone survive beyond the final level? Can you? Dodge the spittle from the Headteacher's rage before goading her with a swift flick of nose gold. Blow raspberries at the rude elderly fellow who just whacked you with his walking stick. Conquer the monster living under your best friend's bed, then hop down the arcade and defeat a martial-arts obsessed teenager on new, super-hit Avenue Brawlers 2. Life is full of fun for a carefree 1980s kid. In the small town of Snoring, fueled by blue syrup-ice Slushies, you live your 1980s kid's life with cheekiness, imagination and finger speed. Until someone in the neighbouring town of Mogford achieves the unthinkable! Whispers tell of a kid who broke the kill-screen, who went beyond the final level and uncovered something...monstrous! Through the Kill Screen is an Adventure RPG with horror/thriller elements. You take the role of Leon, a mischievous boy enjoying his 1980s childhood who finds himself in the Naughty Corridor awaiting an ear-bashing from the evil Head Teacher. Imagine a bit of The Goonies, War Games and Ferris Bueller's Day Off mixed with the great RPGs Mother, Undertale with a dash of Lisa: the Painful and you'll be somewhat prepared for a colourful and sinister quest through small-town Britain. In a world full of curiosities, fun and danger, Through the Kill Screen is a journey quite different from anything you have experienced before. At times quirky, at times sinister and tense, you'll use your powers of CHEEKINESS, IMAGINATION and FINGER SPEED to progress through an adult-run world. Make friends, free corrupted townsfolk and stand up to the 8-bit nightmares plotting behind that final kill-screen. With multiple endings, your actions decide how your character grows up and what consequences result from their quest. All this, to the sound of amazing chip-tunes by some of Youtube's most talented composers.

Noun: A level in a computer game that is impossible to win.
1980s kids had it the best. Powered by syrup-ice Slushies, they ran riot, hiding from bullies and plotting with best friends to fill the hours with fun and games. Ringing doorbells before dashing away, between sugar rushes and thumb-wars, life was never dull. With parents glued to the TV, serenaded by the RATA-TATAT of action hero movies, 1980s kids played computer games until friction built blisters on their fingers. But it wasn't all good.
Sometimes 1980s kids were sent to stand in the naughty corridor, awaiting lectures of doom from sadistic Head Teachers. Sometimes bullies cornered their prey with wicked, menacing intentions. And, once, some kids played a computer game so well that they actually broke through the Kill Screen and uncovered a terrible secret.
You are one of those kids. Can you endure what slumbers beyond the final level?
