 Spoliers ahead for those who didn't play it!

Very unique game, it was super immersive.

The minigames were fun, but I kinda wish that they would somehow help influence the ending (correct me if they do). Also, bit of a nitpick, but to be honest the ending felt like a bit of a letdown, I was expecting some kind of twist or reveal at the end. This is probably just because the game built tension and intrigue soo well, and it had such a cool and mysterious vibe to it.

Immaculate polish, masterclass atmosphere building, simple and fun gameplay. Amazing game, congrats!

Yeah I agree. That's why minigames track your score and answers, I wanted multiple endings (at least 2) but just didn't have time for any more and just quickly put this one together (in the last hour lol). I might do an post jam update though

The vibe was super on point, really well done! The concept is simple, but executed so well that it feels very elaborate. Great game!

That was really immersive.

The slighted warped UI made it feel like I was on a different computer.

I loved the modulated voice and the dialogue you wrote was great, funny and sometimes philosophical.

Absolutely brilliant! Super original and well-made, and the spooky vibe is perfect. Well done and thanks for joining the jam :)

Thanks for playing and for the opportunity to do weird and unsettling horror once again!

Absolute king of analogue horror. Despite you assuring me there were no jump scares, my heart rate was up, and I was tense enough that I didn't quite believe you! Really well done, perfect atmosphere. Damn Shadow, you scary!

You absolutely nailed the analog horror vibe and it got a few big scares out of me, especially in the more subtle things like seeing that smile in the top-right corner out of nowhere. I was very invested throughout the whole experience, great work!

I haven't been this scared in a while, this isn't even cheap horror, it's really well-made psycological horror. It's a pretty realistic sci-fi scenario.

I love the VHS tape theme it has going and i really like the monotome robotic voice speaking, it makes the atmosphere really pop.  Huge fnaf vhs and mandela catalogue vibes, its great

Very nice!! I really like this type of gameplay with picture collages and retro visuals, the voiceover was key to the effects, made it a bit scary haha. Just proved I cant depend on my memory lol
