Gameplay
Asks to choose most unsettling image by instinct
First pair, 1 normal and 1 with odd eyes
When clicking image, it is further distorted and eyes turn black
Second pair is similar
Third pair is worse, first image is normal but a delay activates for the second
Low droning audio plays, really creepy
2nd image is very dark, face in lower left corner
Face disappears when clicked
An image of a house appears with text
Music gets more disturbing and eerie
Text describes someone floating like a puppet around the house
Sounds
Voice sounds low quality but it works
Art
Camera is shaky, static, VHS quality
Tv is on static
Very dark, hard to see
UI
Menu has static noise, VHS tape-esque
Writing
Threat active across the state
First exercise passed, goes on to describe what to look for
‘Unusually long limbs’
Awkward movement, lack of facial features
Cuts back to the house, and abruptly transitions to a 3D environment
Police call takes place, assuming the creature is on the other end, cops come out
Game explicitly states that it is inspired by the Mandela Catalogue, then ends
Scare Factor
Down the hallway something walks by, attacks the mother and uses her voice
Text tells viewer that she is dead and to play dead
Player lays on the ground and starts to get up, but the creature rushes forward, large head
Extra
Was only released on Itch.io
Overall
An excellent example of being extremely limited and using what you have to its full potential. Masterclass in minimalism
