The Tape Brings VHS Horror to Steam
Ah, here’s something new and refreshing. A first-person indie horror game on Steam. You don’t see many of those. It’s not like every other game being released on Steam these days is a first-person indie horror title. Oh wait…
Having said that, The Tape does look like it will stand above the rest. If there’s one thing that The Ring movies taught us, it’s that VHS footage can be really downright scary at times, and looking at the trailer below, I’d say they got the message.
We don’t have too much info about this title yet, save for a brief synopsis written by someone for whom English does not appear to be their first language, so keep an eye on the game’s Steam page for updates.
Synopsis:
The Tape is a first-person horror game with found footage stylization, slow pace, and creepy atmosphere. The game relies mostly on creating heavy atmosphere instead of cheap jump scares. Some of the scenes you will witness in this game are the most disturbing in horror game history.
The game tells the story of a middle-aged detective who is tasked with the search for a young girl, missing in US suburbia. He travels to an abandoned house to check some of his clues and reveals things so horrifying that it make him question his own sanity.
Features:
– Explore the dark and terrifying mystery of a missing girl.
– Face horrible creatures and enemies.
– Uncover the truth or at least try to escape.
