About
You are far away from home.
Winter chills you to the bone.
Staying at a dingy inn, you perform an old ritual that who-knows-whom on the internet taught you.
This is a story-driven, first person horror game of 15-20 minutes of gameplay.
Guidelines to the ritual are hinted at in a blog called The Channels, which can only be accessed through the inn's private network. You read the page carefully and follow the guidelines. Then you will be fine.
At the end of a successful ritual, you will be rewarded by being transformed into someone completely different from who you are.
Well, how does that sound?
Tempting? Then give it a try.

Психологический хоррор в эстетике ретро‑ТВ: игрок исследует искажённый мир, напоминающий заброшенную телестудию и эфир 1980‑х. Геймплей строится на поиске кассет, расшифровке загадочных передач и разгадывании головоломок — всё это сопровождается глюками экрана, помехами и тревожным синтезаторным саундтреком. Плюсы: ретро‑атмосфера — стилизация под старые телепередачи, VHS‑эффект и пиксельные артефакты погружают в эпоху 80‑х; необычный нарратив — история подаётся через обрывки эфиров, зашифрованные сообщения и скрытые записи, побуждая к внимательному изучению окружения; звуковой дизайн — синтезаторный саундтрек и звуковые помехи усиливают чувство тревоги и паранойи. Минусы: медленное развитие сюжета — для раскрытия ключевых деталей нужно собрать множество мелких подсказок, что может утомить тех, кто ждёт динамики; однотипные головоломки — часть задач построена на схожих механиках поиска и сопоставления, из‑за чего геймплей местами кажется повторяемым; ограниченная интерактивность — во многих сценах игрок выступает скорее наблюдателем, чем активным участником событий. Итог: подойдёт любителям атмосферных хорроров и ретро‑эстетики — впечатляет стилистикой старых телеэфиров, оригинальным способом подачи сюжета и гнетущим звуковым сопровождением. Может разочаровать из‑за неторопливого темпа повествования, повторяющихся головоломок и невысокой вовлечённости игрока в ход истории.

It's interesting to say the least. This would make for a great movie ngl. I think I sacrificed my dad? Ending was ok, wish there was more explanation. 8/10 on the pear scale.
I'm To Much Of A ♥♥♥♥♥ To Play Proper Horror Games, But It Is One Of The Better Psychological Horror Games I've Played.
Went into it with no expectations, but actually came out mid? (which is quite a win) the low poly style, the type of style you would create you first day in blender is actually quite interesting, didn't mind it at all. the "puzzles" were really weak, could have gone for more the ritual type of puzzles where you can mess up and screw yourself. The phone jumpscare was actually pretty good, considering the game has zero jumpscares, this one was fine. Liked the core idea of the game, the execution was aight, liked the look you get from the windows, it was giving quite the liminal spaces vibe and I think if the dreams were more into that style it would be much more interesting. also the ending was horrible. expected a lot more considering that it got me kind of interested where they would take it. 5/10
Very creepy! Focusing mostly on atmospheric horror and suspense rather than jumpscares (there are a few). Can't wait to hopefully see more like this from the creator!
I'm confused lmao.
Fantastic. No notes, really. Very atmospheric, trippy, scary without relying on hack tropes or feedback. It's just a well thought-through and paced psychedelic psychological horror in short form. Also free. If you call yourself an indie horror fan of distinction and taste you'll play it. If you aren't: PLAY IT! also i know it's crazy, hear me out, but I can fix her!
pretty good free indie horror game
It goes at a deliberate pace, and that can be annoying for some (especially if you have to replay certain spots). I originally played on Itch.io and the time I have here on Steam is me playing and nowing what do do. Still, it's a creepy and well made psychological horror game and worth checking out since it's FREE. I'd even pay a couple bucks for it, tbh.
