If you hate yourself go buy this game.
What a strange little gem I have found. Hard and easy at the same time.

все действия игры происходят в катакомбах тольятти, особо чувствительным просьба не играть, ибо побывать в катакомбах тольятти ~на уровне смерти от голода
Playing this felt like my brain was leaking out the side of my head. Game felt so long, but was actually short.
4/4 achievements
Dont buy this crap, please. I only got the four achievements because, after reading the guides, i thought it wouldnt take long. But as soon as i started the game, it was garbage. I bought it just for the profile background it offers, and i have to "play" the game for at least two hours to get it. I say "play" in quotes because i could have actually played it or just left it open and let the two hours run out. Anyway, i made the bad decision to play it and get the achievements. I was gonna quit after getting the first two, but i felt terrible seeing that there were two more. So, i finished it. The only redeeming quality is the atmosphere, but hey, im not asking for much from a 2015 game that probably had almost no budget. But please... u'd be better off not releasing anything at all if u're going to release this

The Tape — это психологический хоррор, созданный инди-разработчиками, который погружает игрока в таинственную и напряжённую атмосферу. Игра ориентирована на создание напряжения через атмосферный сюжет, звуковое сопровождение и минимализм в графике.
Сюжет и атмосфера
В центре повествования — главный герой, по имени или безымянным, который находит загадственную магнитофонную запись — «кассету». Эта кассета становится ключом к разгадке тайн прошлого, связанных с исчезновением или трагическими событиями. Глубина сюжета открывается по мере прослушивания записей, раскрывая психологическую динамику персонажа и загадочные происшествия.
Атмосфера в игре воплощается через затемнённые пространства, тревожные звуки и непрерывное ощущение невозможности доверять своим ощущениям. Игра использует минимализм, чтобы усилить эффект присутствия и погружения.
Геймплей
Геймплей в The Tape преимущественно сосредоточен на исследовании окружения и прослушивании записей, которые раскрывают фрагменты истории. В отличие от классических хорроров, игра не полна прыжками или активным боем — акцент делается на психологический настрой и напряжение.
Игроки должны обращать внимание на детали, решать простые головоломки и следить за своим состоянием, которое может меняться под влиянием услышанных событий.
Графика и звук
Графика минималистична, с упором на создание жуткой атмосферы. Используются тёмные, монохромные палитры и размытые текстуры, чтобы усилить ощущение неясности и тревоги.
Звуковое оформление — важная часть игры, оно создает эффект присутствия и усиливает чувство напряжения. В игре звучат шёпоты, шумы, скрипы и музыкальные вставки, создающие эффект доскональной погружённости.
Итоги
Плюсы:
Отличная атмосферность и психологический эффект
Минималистичный, но выразительный стиль
Захватывающая история с элементами тайны
Хорошая звуковая дорожка
Минусы:
Может показаться скучной для тех, кто предпочитает активный геймплей
Требует терпения и внимания к деталям
少кая вариативность в прохождении
Общий вердикт
The Tape — это игра для любителей атмосферных психологических хорроров, ценящих глубокий сюжет и эмоциональное влияние. Если вам нравятся игры, вызывающие напряжение через звуковое и визуальное оформление, эта игра стоит внимания.
pretty goooood
Just not worth your time. You’ve played this game before I guarantee it. If you’ve spent more than a year or two on Steam, you’ve already experienced this exact formula. You already know how it starts, how it ends, what the environments look like, and how every obstacle will play out. I don't like to hate on games, I just played these types of games way to often and I'm beyond tired of them. I got this through a bundle or else I would never have played it. The only redeemable part is some of the art design.
I like to play these types of games late at night, alone and in the dark. I recommend it.

Nope, not at all. Refund for sure.
I grabbed this May 8th, 2024. I thought the main story to The Tape was okay, and liked the VHS aesthetic. I decided earlier today to go through my incomplete games shelf in the collections tab and figured I'd give this another go for 100% as I couldn't remember why I didn't finish it.
And, oh... I 'member...
For a game ten years old at this point, The Tape is ok. I ran the story mode again to refresh my memory and, eh, nothing too memorable. Very short, fairly linear, the ocean of black "boss battle" was interesting, but that's about it. I don't regret replaying The Tape, but definitely suggest you grab it on sale if you're still curious on this one.
The "Bonus Levels" though... My god.
Out of the three, two are short and fairly simple, though very RNG-based. The Forest, however? A terrible Slender clone of monochromatic foliage that all blends into each other. I spent 3 hours wandering around the insanely large map (which is the final scene of the main story) and fighting my way through tree wall after tree wall, invisible wall after invisible wall, fat shame opening after fat shame opening. The pages are static and some guides exist to help, but good luck navigating the trees in one go.
In short I have over 4k hours in Dead by Daylight and The Forest pissed me off to levels solo queue survivor never achieved due to all those damn walls and how bland it all looked.
Overall the core experience is bland, but competently put together. The "bonus levels" can be skipped (especially The Forest) unless you want that full 100%. Nothing memorable, but an okay way to kill some time if you catch it on sale at this point of the game's existence. If not, just continue to let it pass you by.
The Tape je krátký hororový walking simulator, který nabízí 4 herní módy, včetně příběhového, jestli se to tak dá vůbec nazvat. Hra má defaultně zapnut camera effect heavy, což je přesvícený filtr, kde je několik barev a takové pulsující světlo, opravdu nehratelné, po pár minutách mě začali bolet oči...když ho vypnete, tak máte čenobílou, alespoň něco. Nevím, co tím autor zamýšlel, hra se jmenuje tape, ale k filtru videopásky to má hodně daleko. No prostě nejhorší filtr, co kde můžete vidět.
Hratelnost je převážně chodící, v domě najít klíč, ve sklepeních se vyhnout kultistům, všelijaké divné obludy, jak ze samotného pekla. Druhou část hry je již zmiňovaný mód, ocitnete se v naprosté tmě a jedinou záchranou před ohavnou hlavou jsou světelné koule, které monstrum zažene, tady začíná odpočet a musíte přežít několik minut, za mě nejlehčí z herních režimů. Po té se ocitáte v lese, kde už na obrazovce svítí "exit" a nebo "answers", což je přímočará cesta k ukončení hry, za které dostanete achievement. Podařilo se mi nasbírat dva, ty ostatní jsou pro mě zatím nedosažitelné pro svoji nelogičnost a bloudění v lese.
Což také ještě zmíním jedná se o přehuštěný les na obrovské ploše ohraničené neviditelními zdmi, kde musíte najít několik míst se stránky, hra se podobá Slenderovi, tady ohavné ženě, která vás pronásleduje. Jako hodit postavu do hustého lesa bez jakékoliv navigace a orientačních bodů je prostě katastrofální řešení a tady to vůbec nefunguje jako hra a proto si hlavně hra u mě vysloužila negativní hodnocení. Nedoporučeno pro achievement huntery.
♥♥♥♥♥
Un Juego de terror-suspenso en primera persona, lore pobre, cuasi nulo. Buenos graficos, atmosfera y ambientacion.
Sonidos y BSO pasables...
jugabilidad basica.
Como para pasar el tiempo esta bien, tiene algun que otro Jumpscare y momento de estres pero en menor medida. Sigue estando bueno desde ya, no es negable.
6/10 - logros y CROMOS mejoran el valor del titulo- Si te gusta el suspenso puede ser un buen titulo para jugar en poco tiempo.
Игра на первый взгляд мне совершенно не понравилась, но когда я прошел ее на 100% и получил все достижения, я по-настоящему полюбил её. Игра в меру сложная, сюжет есть, но он ни плохой, ни хороший. Она довольно страшная и нагнетающая, а дизайн просто лучший. В общем, я остался доволен игрой. Играть или не играть — дело каждого. Кому-то она может понравиться, а кому-то нет. Спасибо большое разработчикам!
Nice horror Game !!
regret
хочу стать амбассадором данной игры.
Pretty boring. Enemies dont pose much of a threat and the "Bossfight" is really badly telegraphed.
The Tape is a psychological horror game that succeeds in creating an eerie, unsettling atmosphere with its VHS-style visuals and cryptic storytelling. The tension builds well, but the forest bonus map is a nightmare—dense trees and branches make navigation frustrating, turning an already dark setting into a tedious challenge.
The protagonist's behavior often doesn’t make much sense, but that’s hardly unusual for horror media. The story is fragmented and open to interpretation, which adds intrigue but might leave some players feeling lost. While the pacing can be slow and objectives unclear at times, The Tape still delivers an acceptable horror experience.

O modo história é muito curto, encontre um item, abra uma porta, vá alguns andares, evite alguns inimigos, sobreviva alguns minutos a um inimigo e então evite inimigos e alcance um alvo, é isso e então há 3 mapas bônus (1. Dark whater não é uma má ideia, mas algumas vezes você não consegue pegar as luzes e com uma tática fácil não é desafiador), 2º uma boa ideia e se você descobrir como funciona, tudo bem, mas poderia haver mais palavras/instruções principais, a parte 3 é ótima, só que você não tem um mapa ou bússola e se sente perdido e então há paredes invisíveis. Os gráficos são bons para um jogo indie, o som também, a duração do jogo é muito pequena. O preço é muito alto. O suporte do desenvolvedor 1 ano depois não existe mais, todos os bugs como apertar o menu iniciar/principal e nada acontecer permaneceram, o jogo parece inacabado e o desenvolvedor não se importa (ele não pode ajudar, ele poderia se quisesse, mas ele não quer). Esse preço e suporte estragam as palavras. Se você escrever palavras críticas no hub, seja censurado diretamente. O terceiro pior desenvolvedor que conheço. Se você gosta de jogos de exploração/simuladores de caminhada e comprá-lo com desconto de mais de 70%, eu daria ao jogo 53%. O desenvolvedor infantil de Run Away From Truth merece -99%. Obrigado pela leitura.

The Tape 2015 пытается создать атмосферу классического хоррора, вдохновляясь такими играми, как Silent Hill и P.T. Однако, несмотря на интересную завязку — поиски разгадки зловещей истории с участием загадочной видеокассеты — игра довольно быстро теряет темп. Уже через первые 30 минут становится ясно, что проект страдает от нехватки идей и технической проработки.
Геймплей сводится к блужданиям по коридорам с редкими встречами с пугающими элементами. Напряжение быстро улетучивается из-за скриптов, которые повторяются и перестают удивлять. Подача сюжета разочаровывает: недостаток диалогов и слабая связь между событиями оставляют игрока в недоумении.
Плюсы
✅ Мрачная атмосфера: Декорации и музыка создают неплохое чувство тревоги.
✅ Завязка: Идея с видеокассетой выглядит интригующе.
Минусы
❌ Однообразный геймплей: Постоянные блуждания и отсутствие динамики быстро надоедают.
❌ Слабый сюжет: История подана сумбурно и без должной интриги.
❌ Технические проблемы: Встречаются баги и плохая оптимизация.
❌ Скромная продолжительность: Прохождение занимает чуть больше часа, оставляя ощущение недоделанности.
Итоговая оценка: ⭐ 2 из 10
The Tape 2015 пытается быть атмосферным инди-хоррором, но теряется в клише и недостатке идей.
Deveria ser de graça. O jogo é repleto de bugs, péssimas mecânicas, nada intuitivo e não causa nenhum prazer em avançar as fases. Lore porcamente desenvolvida. Ganhou uns pontos comigo pelos minigames e o clone de slender, mas é muito mal programado.

Extremely bad product.
I do not recommend buying.
no atmosphere, everything happens very slowly and boringly.
The only pluses are good wallpapers for the profile, for which I bought this game.
💋
It's a very short horror game with a little simple horror story.
It's well designed for its atmosphere. The camera/VHS effect a bit too much. I know you could lower it from heavy to low. No medium?
The level designs are puzzle based. I don't mind it. However, covering it up or better integrating it would've been better.
There doesn't seem to be much of any story in-game, other then, cult, evil, bad people, sacrifice. Go from point A to B.
I kept forgetting why the I was there. Was I a detective? Why was I there again? What was the point of the camera?
It short game meant, It has atmosphere, but it's too short. Which makes me think,
There are three bonus mini-games.
One, where you're in a dark place. Lights will come down, and you'll have to position so evil women hit them.
Second, where you've got to switch between cameras. Collect pages and torches, keep the map illuminated. Slow down evil women.
Third, It's equal-ish to Slender Man. Here it's, find pages in the forest. Don't stand still, don't look at the evil women.
These mini-games might have been events that were meant to have been integrated.
There are ideas here that others have done better. I would be interested to see the developer evolve.
Clapped
Came out from this game as semi popolar being.
так то для 15 года нормально и оправдывает свою цену + советую
good
atmospheric game, would recommend
Das hier ist mal eine neutrale Bewertung mit positiver Tendenz^^.
Das negative ist auf jeden Fall das langweilige und manchmal fast frustrierende Gameplay.
Das positive ist der eigene Stil. Das hier ist keine Asset-Hölle wie viele andere Games. Und für den kleinen Preis bekommt man hier schon was geboten.
Die Bonuslevel haben mich aber auch nicht mehr genug abgeholt, um die auch noch zu spielen. 8 Seiten im Wald sammeln war noch nie cool ;). Und 20 Seiten irgendwo sammeln halt auch nicht^^.
Самый большой плюс игры — её стилистика. Разработчик создал потрясающий фильтр, при котором контуры предметов двоятся, цвета переходят из одного в другой и малодетализированное окружение выглядит вполне реалистичным. На этом плюсы заканчиваются. Неинтересный, плохо поставленный сюжет, короткая длительность игры и откровенно "тупые" уровни. Особенно хочется выделить бонусный уровень Forest mode. Каким же нужно быть y6людком, чтобы создать такой безчеловечный челендж? Тебя кидают в дичайше огромный лес и предлагают искать записки, разбросанные по нему. Но как я уже говорил лес просто нереально огромный. Когда я туда попал я сразу принялся искать маленькую хижину с запиской. Измученный скитанием по бесконечному лесу через 30 минут я наконец-таки нашёл эту хижину и радостно побежал поднимать победную записку. Как же скорчилось моё лицо, когда в центре экрана появилась надпись "Вы собрали 1 записку" и на фоне заиграла музыка — с этого момента тебя начинает преследовать скример. Я взял себя в руки и за следующие 30 минут собрал ещё 3 записки. 4 из 5 записок, подумал я, и принялся искать последнюю. Следующий час был самым длинным в моей жизни. Знаете, говорят время идёт медленнее, когда кого-то ждёшь или выступаешь на важных спортивных соревнованиях, нет! Медленнее всего в этом мире идёт время во время прохождения Forest mode в игре The Tape! Целый час хождения кругами по чёртову лесу! Полез в ютуб искать прохождение, дабы найти последнюю записку и что я узнаю? Записок-то оказывается не пять, а восемь! Восемь, КАРЛ! ВОСЕМЬ ЗАПИСОК! Развернулся, убился об скримера и дропнул игру. Создатель сего уровня обрёк себя на вечные адские муки после смерти. Без этого инцидента игра неплохая, на больших скидках можно взять.
not good at all. The forest was one of the worst things ive done in a while.
好的，如果你看到了这里，那么我想告诉你，这东西简直是老鼠屎，该死的，bug多到你不敢想象，3元也不建议购买，一坨屎。这游戏的每一扇门都有bug，记得躲远点。
This game showed me a piece of ♥♥♥♥ that didn t flush the toilet
I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.

I came in to play at night, my heart stopped and I learned what the underworld was like.
The Tape is a short horror experience and not that great of an experience.
The main reason I bought this game was the background for my profile.
But this game is quite short (less than 1 hour long if I remember correctly) but it's also pretty cheap (often you'll find it for 40% or 75% off). Think about it as paying 1~3 USD for a movie ticket for an immersive horror movie. I'd say it's worth it, if you're in the right mood.
This game relied on cheap jumpscares :(

The Tape is a Digital Homicide style asset flip. The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, specifically a haunted house one and a few others, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. In fairness the assets in this case have been arranged into your tired and overdone Russian haunted house game, so there's not a lot of value for gamers here unless you like going on a tour of assets from the Unity Asset Store.
Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware.
Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts.
The voicework in the game seems very text-to-speech and the writing is horribly badly translated into English.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. The Tape has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for picking the "answers" option when prompted, trivial to achieve, but less than 5 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show less than 5 percent of players bothered playing the game for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this game to have so many concurrent players who didn't bother to played the game? Trading cards. People will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game.
That tells us people only really bought this game for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
The Tape is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.
This game features a number of suspicious, likely fake positive reviews. The reviews all appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and all have very similar wording and writing style. This is highly unusual given the very low quality of the game and poor player counts. The "Positive" review score on this game should be taken with a large grain of salt. This might be done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product.
Честно, какая фигня. Думал там будет интереснее. хорроры всё такое, а нет (ну может они есть, но не такие уж и впечатляющие). Но зато можно сделать парочку мемов :)
Choppy as all hell, if that were fixed it would be decent, can't recommend at even a dollar price
норм
Дед из под пола прыгнул на меня, я так перегуглился что понял что я олень : (
Я обосрался. Спасибо авторы)
Игра нормальная) Страшная местами и угарная тоже) Босс файт не с первого раза понял но тоже интересный.

На удивление довольно неплохой симулятор ходьбы, короткий и от того не утомительный, проходится за часик
Как хоррорюшечка, не страшно от слова совсем
Картинка и стилистика приятны, даже отсутствие фонарика не портит впечатление
Тем более у Куплинова видел эту игру
Так что ставь лайк если тоже покупаешь всякие страшные игры благодаря видосам Куплинова))))))
Что касается сюжета, он прост, но логичен
Кстати помехи и пленочный стиль можно отключить в настройках
Но в игре есть все же один минус!!!!!
Локация с большой бабской головой, которая дерзкая, как пуля резкая, как же выбесила
Но в целом, крепкий стояк.... ОЙ ♥♥♥ средняк
И еще игра имеет ачивки, правда заполучить их трудно, и карточки
Общая оценка 7/10
"The Tape", mistisizm ve soyut psikolojik unsurlar içeren yavaş tempolu ve ürpertici bir birinci şahıs korku oyunudur. Buluntu görüntü stilizasyonuna sahip oyun, ucuz atlama korkularına güvenmek yerine ağır bir atmosfer yaratmayı amaçlıyor.
Oyun, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nin bir banliyö bölgesinde kaybolan genç bir kızı bulmakla görevlendirilen orta yaşlı bir dedektifin etrafında dönüyor. Dedektif araştırmalarını sürdürürken, bazı ipuçlarını takip etmek için terk edilmiş bir eve gider. Evin içinde keşfettiği şey o kadar korkunçtur ki kendi akıl sağlığını sorgulamaya başlar.
Oyunun ana odak noktası, kayıp kızı çevreleyen karanlık ve korkunç gizemi keşfetmektir. Dedektif olarak oyuncular, korku ve gerilimi artıran çeşitli yaratıklar ve düşmanlarla karşı karşıya gelecekler. Amaç, kızın kayboluşunun ardındaki gerçeği ortaya çıkarmak ya da en azından bu kabus gibi durumdan kaçmaya çalışmaktır.
"The Tape", korku ve tedirginlik hissi yaratmak için atmosferik gerilim ve psikolojik unsurlara dayanarak ürpertici ve rahatsız edici bir deneyim sunmayı amaçlıyor. Oyunculara ilgi çekici bir hikaye ve rahatsız edici bir oynanış sunarak korku türüne benzersiz bir yaklaşım getiriyor.
As the saying goes,
"you get what you pay for"
If only that were true...... This game is terrible.
I managed to finish the main game, which isn't really scary (just ♥♥♥♥). The real scare is when you realise that you've now unlocked 3 bonus levels. I completed one, the other 2, well I gave them a go, but nah!! I've got enough achievements to score above my average achievement rating, so it won't negatively affect that. I'm now happy to leave this game alone.
二维码画质
This game has mixed feelings for me. The atmosphere is good but the story and visuals are weak. The story is barely there and the assets are clumsily placed on maps with weird angles as well as some people floating in some scenes while walking in place. I don't want to be super critical due to the price but the thing that killed me is the light puzzle. I could not complete this puzzle and it turns out there's a trick never mentioned in the game in how to win the level. If you cannot figure out a task in game to complete it and have to be told by the dev how to complete it, that is bad game design. It's also really hard to do so I just quit. This is an alright game but I can't recommend it due to this.
With a unnerving atmosphere The Tape is a pretty awesome indie horror experience, only bad side of this game is the (sometime laughable) stock enemies, but all in all, still a great game 3.9/5
Steam has a ton of weirdo trash like this and idek why I own this game but it's absolutely terrible. The walking speed is god awful, the filter is the worst, storyline is badly told, and I am 1000% sure everything in this game is an asset flip.

Save your money and buy a bag of chips instead.
Too primitive game. Boring gameplay. Short duration. Good atmosphere. No any point to play it.
好玩
-_-
An interesting, short horror game. Mainly just follow the path, and do some very simple stealth a couple of times, followed by an interesting "boss" encounter and a nice jog.
Overall, the game had some good atmosphere and mostly okay gameplay. The atmosphere of the dungeon level actually reminded me slightly of Thief: The Dark Project.
Meanwhile, the gameplay was very minimalistic, consisting mostly of walking from point A to point B. But a couple of stealth segments made it a bit more interesting. There's one section where you need to collect three things, because of course, with a demon thing sort of chasing you around - but it got stuck in front of the door you need to go through to continue, so progress became impossible, though exiting to title and continuing fixed it.
There are definitely quite a few bugs here: When entering the room with the large, central bed, I was able to go back through the door from which I entered(after first picking up the three things), and was then stuck as the door wouldn't let me back out. Also, the three things require you to stand at very specific parts around the tables to activate them, meaning the first couple of time I wondered what button I had to press to do it. Oh, and once they're activated, you can move to the next area even if you die and lose the three things.
Not going to say this is a great game, but it had some things going for it. The ending also presented a choice in a way I really liked - and the fact that you could continue and do the other one immediately afterwards without having to replay the whole game was a big plus!
I also enjoyed the "boss fight", for lack of a better term. Definitely an interesting piece of gameplay.
The game also has quite good spelling compared to most other eastern European developed, story based, indie games I've played, but missing certain words. More specifically, articles. Words like "the" and "a". (Also, would like for the text to not disappear until I click a button or something, that'd be nice.)
BONUS LEVELS: There are three "bonus levels" that are basically small mini games in their own right. The first is "Dark Water", which is based on the "boss fight", but functions almost like a stationary, first person, tower defense or something. The second is called "Dungeons of Terror", and is a security cam based game that is reminiscent of titles like "I'm On Observation Duty" and "Five Nights At Freddy's", although much simpler. Both of these are actually quite enjoyable.
Then there's the third bonus level called "Forest", which is basically a "Slender: The Eight Pages" clone, having you walking around a forest looking for landmarks where you find pages for no reason. However, the level design(if you can call it that) is absolutely terrible. This little mini game features the absolute worst use of invisible walls I've ever seen in a game, in all my years of gaming! You can walk through branches as thick as your body, but other places you're suddenly blocked from walking into a seemingly open area. And at the same time, it's also possible to walk to the edge of the map - and then drop off. Sadly, you'll have to complete this as well to 100% this game, but at the very least it's not a very large area to search. (It seems larger than it is, mainly because it's easy to get lost due to most areas looking exactly the same.) After five pages though, I honestly looked up a guide with a map to get the rest, out of frustration from the invisible walls. Yes, it's frustrating to just move around in this mini game! At least there's not really any likelihood of you dying, as the "demon girl" is just following you around and keeping you company rather than killing you.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Worth playing through once, even if mostly for the vibe, as there's barely any story. The bonus levels are nice additions, but the third has too many problems to be enjoyable, so it's sad that it's required play for 100%.
100% in just over 2 hours.
Indie horror game that is actually worth buying.
3/10 meh experience

The Tape ein Horror Game, was quasi ein Walk + Lichter auspusten besteht. Ihr spielt ein Detektive der seine Aufgabe darin besteht, ein Spuckhaus zu ermitteln. Dabei rutscht er in ein mysteriösen Keller durch, wo Satanischsten eine junge Frau gefoltert und für Rituale missbraucht haben. Nun, sitzt ein Dämon in ihren Körper & spuckt seit dem durch die Gegend.
Drei Minispiele sind ebenfalls beinhaltet: Jedes Blickfeld ein Stück Papier finden, dabei müssen die Lichter anlassen sonst kommt die Besessene und es ist Over. Das zweite darf sie nicht zu dir nah ran! dabei helfen Lichter-Kugel (Licht Quelle) die helfen dir dabei, sie fern zuhalten. und zur guter letzt ein Slender Kopie, hier muss man 8 Pages finden, die Orientierung ist sowas von Gülle das man null Bock auf das letzte Minispiel hat!

Fazit: Für dieses Spiel würde ich ein neutralen Daumen geben, wenn man die Pros zufrieden sind, ansonsten würde ich abraten.
Hard to recommend even for its price.
This game is basically a walker simulator that can last around 30mins for its main "story/content", which is pretty much nonsensical and doesn't really explain anything at all, besides of making some attempt at atmosphere the rest seems to be a few sections where you have to sneak through enemies (which seem to be pretty much blind) and then some jumpscares which is the only thing about this game that may take you by surprise.
Then you have three different "bonus" minigames, which are basically:
- A copy of FNAF where you have to manage your fuel to keep torches alight while you gather some pages before an enemy finds you.
- A slender copy where you have to navigate a forest to find some pages.
- A rehash of section fo the main game where you have to stand still and use some lights to fend away a demon that tries to get to you, the point of this being how long you can last.
Now, the bad things about these gamemodes:
[b]Main content[/b]
Pretty short, no room for exploration and basically could be considered to have any difficult at all. The ending doesn't really explain anything and you're left with an "ok i guess" expression as you are greeted by the final message in the game (which also seems to have some broken english) that basically says that things keep happening, as if you really cared since you didn't really do anything at all.
Also, besides the blind enemies that basically can have you a few steps from their face and not notice, you can walk through many of the furniture and stuff in the game... really immersion breaking.
[b]Dungeons of Terror[/b] (The FNAF inspired minigame)
This one seems pretty much random, since you can get to have most lights out in every room being just a few pages short to be finally done with it and the enemy doesn't spawn at all, but then you start a new run and pick up two pages just to have the enemy getting to you with all of the lights still on... I guess it's pretty much based on your luck if you'll be able to beat this one or not.
[b]The Forest[/b] (The slender inspired minigame)
This was a pain to complete, but not because of it being challenging (most of the times the enemy grabbed me is because I just wanted to restart because of how frustrating the whole experience was) but because the forest is populated by highly dense trees and branches, you not only can hardly see what's ahead from you but also it seems pretty random which of them you can walk through and which you cannot. This makes up for the main challenge of this minigame to traverse the entirety of the forest trying to find the landmarks which are completely hidden away by the true final boss of the game, tree branches.
Also, you can literally walk up to the end of the world (which turns out to be a little hill you can climb) and just jump off the map...
[b]Dark Waters[/b]
This is the only minigame I didn't really hate or anything, felt challenging (the hardest one to complete actually) and was definitely fun to finally manage to hit the five minutes mark for the final achievement of the game.
Long story short, I cannot recommend this game, but if you end up buying it (either you don't care about spending the full price or get it on a bundle/sale) I guess you can get to find a few hours of either true fun or just amusement at how this was released in it state. It should also be an easy game to 100% if that's your thing.
i bought the game just to fill my game lists
