About the Game

YOU ARE A SINNER.

BUT YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN.

I CAN HELP YOU.

A documentary filmmaker decided to center his next project around analog horror. While researching, he stumbles upon a VHS tape being sold on an online marketplace that was found at a cult's gathering place after all but one member had suddenly disappeared.

He decides to watch the tape and film his live reaction for one of his documentary's segments.  At first, he assumes it to be an amateur creation, but soon finds out that there might be more to the tape than he thought.

This visual novel features:

  • visuals, music and story inspired by the VHS era and its revival through analog horror.

  • multiple endings that depend on your choices throughout the game.

  • about an hour of play time to see all this game has to offer.
