Here is an excerpt from Kinophobia's description on itch.io:

KINOPHOBIA is a parser game about exorcising ghosts, becoming a rabid cinephile, and the terrible price of success.

  • A 'database thriller' inspired by games like Return of the Obra Dinn, The Roottrees are Dead and Immortality, covered head to toe in blood.
  • An intricate investigation into the lives and deaths of dozens of characters. Read documents, do in-depth research, get help from online movie sickos, and maybe employ a little magic.
  • An entire parallel history of cinema to uncover, from 1970s New Hollywood to 1990s schlock and sleaze.
  • Manhandle cursed objects and murder weapons. Dissociate into hallucinatory vistas of grotesque horror. Throw up so hard you expire.
