CAUTION: CONTENT MAY CONTAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Alexey's Tapes - It's a psychological horror at first glance, as your computer's digital reality becomes infected with a true nightmare. You are Alexey, an archivist of the digital age, who has discovered a box of old VHS tapes. What started as a curious digitization project quickly becomes a matter of sensible action when the recordings of the past begin to rewrite your present.

➤ A LIVING AND DANGEROUS COMPUTER

Your PC is your primary tool, a window into the world, and a primary source of threat. Interact with the operating system, digital programs, chats, and files. But be careful: with each archive you view, the interface will change, becoming infected with visual viruses from the past. Task manager processes, system notifications, and even the mouse cursor can become conduits of horror.

➤ DOUBLE REALITY: VHS vs. HD

The game masterfully combines the crisp, modern graphics of your surroundings with the rough, distorted VHS aesthetic of archival recordings. Magnetic tape noise, flickering, color artifacts, and "snow" are not just stylization. These are symptoms of infection that gradually creep from your viewing windows onto your main screen, blurring the line between observer and victim.

➤ RESEARCH AND PUZZLE EVENTS

To stop the "Patchwork Man," you'll need to analyze recordings, search for hidden meanings in file metadata, and compare information from the victims' virtual and real-life diaries (forums, old blogs). Solve puzzles using both digital and analog tools—sometimes a magnet and a physical break in the chain are needed to fight digital evil.

➤ PSYCHOLOGICAL PRESSURE

The horror here isn't in the jump scares, but in the growing sense of loss of control. You'll begin to doubt the readings of your devices, your friends' messages, and, ultimately, your own perceptions. Beeps from your headphones, phantom notifications, and footage of your own room that couldn't have been captured on film will create an atmosphere of paranoia and isolation.

➤ UNIQUE ANTAGONIST – THE "PATCHWORK Man"

This isn't a ghost on your monitor. It's an archaic network entity, preying on human attention and fear of technology. Its goal isn't to kill, but to archive. To transform your consciousness into another "fragment"—a digital ghost, doomed to eternal repetition in its expanding reality.

ATTENTION:

It is recommended to disable other background applications while playing. Some system sounds and visual effects in the game may be mistaken for real computer problems. The developers are not responsible for any Task Manager checks after midnight.

Are you ready to open the last file in the archive?

Alexsey's Tapes in development!

I've started developing my game. I'm currently working on a prototype, and then I'll move on to the full version. If the game is successful, I might release a remake with better graphics and a different engine.

More information in Boosty, as Game Jolt prohibits long text in posts. Looking forward to seeing you!
