Really enjoyed the game - great mechanic with the camera. I absolutely love the moral to the game - Be Kind - that should be everybody's motto in life.
There was no battery use in the whole game, I can't remember the name of an old PS2 title that had the supernatural viewed through a camera, but it's a safe bet to leave the filter off when NOT using the camera since it makes more sense to keep the camera separate.
I've been waiting for the screamer.. great game !

Loved playing your game and loved the message. Pretty dope.
so that all happened
看照片就知道会恐怖,比我之前玩过的都恐怖!ヾ(◍°∇°◍)ノ゙
I liked it. Creepy story and the library is scary. :0
A short, creepy experience. Well done :)
This was a good short foud footage style game. It had a bit of a disturbing ending but definetly worth a try. Good story and atmosphere, the library part was really creepy.
I very much enjoyed this! The atmosphere, the story, and the message. Great job!
I like it. First game in video.
Very cool game ->

My girlfriend gave this a try-- and she was unnerved!
I love the art style and how weird everything felt.
The end was cracking me up lol.
Short horror game, straight to the point and quite creative with the environment. Thank you for making this! 2nd game.
😊👍
Nice VHS Horror and creepy! Going to check out CATACOMBIA when you release it :)
Full Play No Commentary
This game was pretty solid, I gonna be pretty bias and give it a 9/10! Simply because of the Japanese Aspect! It would be sick if you made this a full-blown story game, I would love to play it!
NICE GAME!!!
This game was both sad and horrifying, horrifying in a sense that this still happens now in today's world and nobody is doing anything about this. Great short game with a huge message
The game was really cool and the story behind it was sad. Loved the VHS style.
Watch video here:
I think a lot of people underestimate the horrors of school age years. The pressure from parents, peers, and let's not forget bullying. Loved the atmosphere, graphics, and message of the game. Kudos! (here's my playthrough; it's the second game)
I enjoy the gameplay and the raphics with the vhs is a bonus! I think i fell in love with retro vhs horror games now. The game is short and i wish it was longer. Overall i rate the game a 8/10. Love the concept ;)
Just got done playing this game and although it was extremely short, I actually enjoyed it. The thing I love most about the game is the meaning behind it, that's always the most important thing about horror games.
One thing I did have a problem with is the VHS filter, the developer of this game should make it an option to turn the VHS filter on or off. Anyways great game, keep up the good work.

Very nicely done. Loved playing this game. It captures very well the atmo within the Japanese schooling system, and the suicides because of relentless bullying. It looks like I could have explored more, but I prefer to play a game once, and leave it up to others to go the extra mile.
Thank you for a very enjoyable 4 minutes of play. Kudos to all involved.
It was so aesthetically pleasing to play. 😁👍The VHS visuals were on point. I am still not sure what the ending was about, but I think I have a slight idea.
My conclusion: I WAS THE BULLY (am I right?)🤷♀️
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!🥰
This was really cool! I love the use of the VHS filter and the seeing the different dimension! Would've loved a little more jumpscares, but still a solid game!
I love VHS style games and this did not let me down. Great atmosphere
Really creepy, wicked atmosphere and a strong message. Good work!
I am a really big fan of Japanese style horror games and this one did not disappoint. Keep it up!
