A psychological horror game where a police officer investigates a cold case in a decaying house, uncovering a strange tape recorder that reveals a terrible secret.

Story

In 2011, an old unsolved case leads you to an abandoned house in a desolate and desolate suburb. No signs of life, no answers.

Inside, you find old VHS tapes, forgotten and covered in dust. At first, the tapes seem like meaningless relics of the past. However, as you play them, things start to get strange.

These tapes are more than just recordings. As you watch them, you realize that there is something there that should never have been seen.
