This is just perfect and more. The foreshadowing? The metaphors? The symbolism? The Plot? and don't get me started on how well the game puts you into the shoes of the main character. Scary, disturbing, dreadful, and some well placed jumpscares that do not feel cheap at all!
I love the subtle fact that you never actually ever see the outside from inside the house, or ever see the wife and kid ever do anything other than exist and speak. The length of the game is just right. I did stumble around for a while not sure what to do, but honestly, that really pushes the narrative even more because you're playing as someone who is also just as unsure what to do with himself. Also love how you play as the ghost that jumpscares you in the beginning because, well, because of the twist reveal!
I so, so, so love this. Since the title is "Dead Tapes: Fading Father" I hope that Dead Tapes will be a series and we'll get to play more stories. If this is the kind of thing and the level of quality that can be expected, then this will be an absolutely incredible horror series.
Incredible game, love it.
