How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Echoes on Tape embraces the chaos of failing memories and broken VHS tapes. The glitches, static, and distortions aren’t bugs—they are the heart of the experience.
As the player rewinds and watches corrupted tapes, the errors in the footage guide the narrative, warp perception, and create tension. Each flicker, smear, or unexpected jump in the video isn’t a mistake—it’s a clue, a psychological trap, and a way to immerse players in the protagonist’s fractured mind.
In this way, the “errors” themselves become the playground: the very imperfections of the medium tell the story and shape the horror
