The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
You sort through found VHS footage, feeling uneasy curiosity as you hunt for supernatural scenes in a quiet, unsettling atmosphere.

What players say
Players call Banned Tapes a short, interesting horror game built around watching creepy VHS tapes and deciding if they are disturbing. Many note minimal jump scares and a story that some find cheesy, while the tape-watching mechanic and retro analog feel earn praise.
