Reviews
- Great atmosphere and aesthetic with a strong alien/UFO theme that creates suspense and dread.
- Short and accessible indie horror game suitable for players with limited time.
- Unique VHS-style presentation and unsettling environments that contribute to the spooky mood.
- Very short gameplay duration with limited content and no satisfying or clear story resolution.
- Technical issues including crashes, lack of settings customization, and disorienting visual effects that cannot be disabled.
- Gameplay is overly simplistic and repetitive, with little interaction, puzzles, or unique elements making it feel generic and disjointed.
story
7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is generally seen as weak and lacking coherence, with many users finding it disjointed and unoriginal. It relies heavily on collecting tapes that provide minimal and fragmented narrative, failing to offer a compelling or unique experience. Overall, the story feels underdeveloped and does not meaningfully enhance the game's atmosphere or gameplay.
“I would have liked to see more lead-up to the spooky experience, maybe a little bit of backstory.”
“Some of the 'story beats' seem to copy fears from Fathom Ironbark Lookout.”
“Was really cool and atmospheric until [spoiler] they crushed my car with a dinner plate with LED lights on it [/spoiler]. There is also no story, and I have no interest in even trying to look for those secret tapes to see if they explain it.”
“The story is nothing new; it feels like other alien games I can just find on itch.io or even on Steam.”
“It's a bunch of disjointed 'tapes' that randomly teleport you between scenes with very little story going on.”
