The quality of this reminds me of the quality of a random B movie you'd get from the VHS horror section. A fun time: some camp, some nonsense, some genuinely disturbing sections, some jump scares, and a homemade-level production value. The sub-3 hour game is a beautiful thing.

The gameplay here is mostly solving baby-ish puzzles but the allure is the mood and the tone of the aesthetics which work quite well.

What I really learned from this game though is that I need to develop a true video store simulation game. There is a half-baked mechanic where you return tapes to the shelves and I had too much fun doing it.
