story
4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is generally engaging and unfolds gradually through gameplay, blending supernatural elements with player interaction. While it can feel stereotypical or cheesy at times, it supports the game's unique gameplay well and keeps players interested. Overall, the narrative is solid but could benefit from stronger storytelling.
“You basically watch each one, then give a yes or no answer as to whether you think it contained anything creepy, paranormal, frightening, etc., and as you do, a story gradually unfolds in the background as your player character becomes increasingly obsessed with the tapes and a supernatural force starts to take hold of you.”
“It's definitely gameplay I haven't exactly seen in this form before. The story was kinda interesting too, even if it was really stereotypical in the beginning. Of course, it could have been a bit stronger storytelling-wise, but generally speaking, it's a really solid game and I had a great time playing it.”
“An okay short horror game that I thought was alright and had an interesting story.”
