A psychological horror puzzle about an strange VHS tape that captured a disturbingly realistic ritual.
Each viewing changes what happens on screen. Notice these changes, figure out what they mean and see if you can rewrite the ending.
You’re not the executioner, you’re the victim.
Use spatial audio to identify which victim you are and make sure the recording doesn’t end too soon.
Rearrange the footage:
What happened at 1:40?
Did the radio turn on, or did the revolver misfire?
But don’t think you can control everything. The tape has its own plans.
Lovingly recreated VHS aesthetics: noise, distortion, and analog sound - all working together to create terrifying realism.
This is not a horror about blood or jump scares.
Fear hides in the details.
Key Features:
Atmospheric PSX-style visuals with VHS look
“Director’s” gameplay - rearrange events inside the tape
Multiple challenges
Mature horror that relies on realism, not jump scares
