This is an experimental arthouse game in the analog horror genre. Things may not work as intended. Or maybe they work exactly as they should.

They say there is a cursed videotape. Everyone who watches it disappears without a trace. You got this tape and now you're trapped in an abandoned place where brick walls lead nowhere, time has lost its meaning, and someone or something is hunting you.

The tapes don't show the past. They are the present.

:knife: GOAL

Find the tape that will allow you to escape this world. But don't fool yourself: these are not memories or recordings of past events. Everything that happens on a tape is happening to you right now. And be careful - you never know where the next tape will take you.

:question: HOW TO PLAY

Explore the abandoned brick labyrinth, search for videotapes and notes that might help you understand the nature of this place.

To travel to another part of the labyrinth, use a videotape with a TV. The camera will move closer to the screen. Then you'll need to select the tape you want, insert it, and press Play. After that, you'll find yourself inside the recording.

The world doesn't forget your actions. If you open a door in one recording, it will remain open in all the others. Use this to solve puzzles and find your way through this tangled space.

Tapes don't disappear after being played. You can revisit them and travel between different parts of the labyrinth at any time, as long as you have the tape you need.

But be careful. Something that shouldn't exist is lurking nearby...
