How it feels

Feels like a short, disorienting exploration through a developer's personal nightmare, with grainy VHS visuals and dialogue-driven tension.

What players say

Players are split on this very short horror game: some praise its atmosphere and VHS aesthetic, others hit a game-breaking bug with a VHS tape that blocks progression. The story has a predictable twist and an abrupt ending, with loud jumpscares, no voice acting, and a price of 99 cents. Many note the young developer shows promise.
