I saw this on DreadXP and love found footage horror, and this really captures the genre! It's very atmospheric and spooky, and it's long enough to get what it's doing done without dragging at all. Great stuff!
está muito boa a historia, e o conceito de imagem VHS tmb muito bom. A exploração de mistérios pelo interior do brasil dá um bom clima assustador. Abraço aqui de portugal
The game was fun and gave me a sense of dread I currently didn't have headphones on hand but the sound design/quality was nice and I'm glad the issue of not being able to read notes was fixed cause on my first play through the story made little sense
over all a 8/10
there were parts that were scary
there were parts that were above average
(spoilers)
but the story I don't think was expressed in a great way or was not explored thoroughly enough as far as I got from it there is a second moon and we are chosen to be one of the ascended
but the best part of the game was when you lock yourself in the room at the end of the corridor
Awesome short horror experience! There were times where the atmosphere and sound legitimately made me apprehensive about moving forward and I even put my back in a corner at one point lol. I REALLY like that you explained away something in the game that I complained about while playing. The tables blocking the stairs bit. I was shocked to actually get an answer for it. At some points I feel like the sound was TOO loud, almost making me want to take off my headphones. Also the camera effects are cool but it did start to give me a headache after a while, maybe just tone down the effect a little? Regardless, great experience overall. Thanks for making it!
Muito bom! Uma experiência única, que consegue deixar você tenso do início ao fim graças a ambientação e efeitos sonoros. Os recortes e recados que você encontra durante o jogo ajudam na imersão. Ainda deixou aquela vontade de quero mais no final. Com certeza merece ser jogado por mais gente.
This was really good! The tension was well built throughout and although I found the ending a little anti climatic I loved the lore building with the notes. It's the first game I played in my video.
I loved this! The VHS-games are always hit & miss but this one slowly lured me in. I think the atmosphere and pacing were especially fantastic. I wasn’t so sure about the story at the beginning but towards the end it really unfolded in a way that took me in 100%. You had some great visual ideas that worked so well, nothing was silly, everything added to the story and the overall dread.
I did not know that the building actually exists and only found out through the survey, maybe that’s something you can add to the game because the intro text doesn’t really make it clear that it’s based on a true story.
I'm glad you liked it! To be honest, I wasn't expecting so many people from outside my university to play the game, so I thought most people would play it knowing about the existence of the building.
I love found footage horror movie and games. This one did not disappoint. Very good atmosphere that kept me on the edge of my seat. Keep up the good work!
Baixei o jogo 3 vezes e não consegui jogar nenhuma. Na primeira e terceira, após a recomendação de jogar no escuro e com fones de ouvido, a gameplay ficou completamente escura, seguida de um crash. Na segunda tentativa, o jogo sequer iniciou, tendo travado na tela inicial.
Bem estranho. Procurei se alguém teve o mesmo problema mas até agora ninguém relatou coisa parecida. Nesses casos, é bastante provável que seja algum detalhe no seu computador (talvez driver desatualizado ou coisa do tipo).
Parabéns, Bruno Pressanto! Fico ótimo seu projeto, espero ver algumas outras experiências de horror psicológico como essa. Eis meu vídeo comentado(detalhe não gosto de falar em vídeos de jogos):
This game was pretty cool. The only thing I was curious about but didn't test was how to progress. Does the story progress at a certain time on the clock, or based on events? Very fun!
Every positive about this game has already been commented a numerous amount of times and honestly, I don't know what critique I can add that will be of any value. This is a great success for your Undergraduate work project and only the beginning for many good things to come!
For those reading this, if you've played the game and have a few minutes to spare, help out the developer by completing the questionnaire.
I hope that you’re still collecting data for your thesis, because I tried to be as thorough as I could with my observations. I hope this project goes well for you. You show a lot of promise, above and beyond for the average indie game developer.
In summary, I thought that the atmosphere and pacing were absolutely spectacular. I was actually somewhat impressed with the animations, including the head bobbing, since they’re quite above-standard for the indie games that I’ve been playing recently. I found the storyline very believable (when you mentioned that Building 71 is a real place in the questionnaire I actually wondered if it was based on a real event) and I liked the found footage concept where the gameplay cuts out periodically as the protagonist stops filming and goes to hide.
Besides some initial confusion with the tutorial (it’s not immediately obvious that I’m supposed to check the glove box before exiting the car) my one problem was that all of the threatening situations happened in cutscenes, which lowered my level of tension irreversibly by assuring me that any sense that I would be actively participating in a survival situation was just an illusion. I was anticipating having to avoid an in-game threat, but in fact the threat didn’t affect me, just the protagonist. I was not an active participant in any portion of the story which included a real element of danger; I was just watching as they happened.
Minor quibbles aside, I really enjoyed this and I hope that you find success in future endeavors, whether they include further game dev projects or not.
Yes, I'm still collecting data. Thank you very much for your feedback!
You're right about the threats in the cutscenes - I even read a paper while doing my research that said the same thing. Next time, I'll definitely avoid that.

The game is very well done, the story is very intriguing, I love it!. I have made a gameplay in Spanish of this game :D
That Was Amazing i love It!!!!

Seriously great work managing to make a game that was full of tension and mystery without relying on jumpscares. Gave me some solid Local58 vibes.

Btw, it wasn't based on a true story.
or was it...
You vastly underestimated how good the game looks and how interesting the concept is! Also: I see, the truth is out there :D
OMG what a good game!!! i filled in the forum and my god did i enjoy playing this.
I enjoyed your ggame.The atmosphere was very creepy and I loved the graphical style. Thanks for your effort.
You can watch my playthrough here :)
I love found footage horror movie and games. This one did not disappoint. Very good atmosphere that kept me on the edge of my seat. Keep up the good work!
meu amigo, que jogo foi esse? muito bom, me arrepiei todo
Congratulations for releasing a amazing horror game, without doubt you showed everyone that ambient is key to a good horror game.
Keep doing this!
Well done, i like it soo much, i had great experience playing it, thank you for making it, here is my full gameplay.
Also i answer the questions that you ask for :)
Very nice game!
Joguei e respondi sua pesquisa :D
Nice, I like the VHS style

Seu computador é Windows?
Sim
Bem estranho. Procurei se alguém teve o mesmo problema mas até agora ninguém relatou coisa parecida. Nesses casos, é bastante provável que seja algum detalhe no seu computador (talvez driver desatualizado ou coisa do tipo).
Estava vendo um amigo jogar e ele me ajudou, agora consegui iniciar o jogo, vou retirar a avaliação e fazer outra depois.
Tranquilo, agradeço e espero que goste!
Dá para jogar a versão do Windows no Linux. Bem, eu rodei de boa no meu linux.
loved it <3
The game's aesthetic is SO nice.
I really liked the VHS filter + the style of the 3D models, everything just fits.
também acho legal ver outros BRs por aqui ;)Parabéns, Bruno Pressanto! Fico ótimo seu projeto, espero ver algumas outras experiências de horror psicológico como essa. Eis meu vídeo comentado(detalhe não gosto de falar em vídeos de jogos):

It's a good game. I like video when it came to the 1998's
