About
Looking for something to eat, we take any job we can get. Today is our first day at work. The task is simple - digitize old VHS tapes. One by one, the tapes drop from a small elevator built into the wall. But with every new tape, something starts to feel wrong. Your goal is to complete your shift and digitize all tapes - but surviving until the end depends on your actions.
Channel 64 is a single-player, first-person psychological horror focused on tension, observation, and interaction. The player moves freely within a confined location and interacts with objects related to the work process. As the player progresses, they are frightened not only by the atmosphere but also by jumpscares. During the final stage of the shift, the player must act quickly as time becomes limited.
The main gameplay includes:
● Explore a building with several locations: a corridor, restroom, storage rooms, surveillance room, electrical room, janitor storage, boss’s office and your work room
● Search for codes and unlock new areas
● Collect tapes and digitize them using a VHS player
● Watch disturbing recordings and gradually uncover what is happening
● Complete small tasks inside the work room
● Finish digitizing all the tapes
● Escape from the monster
● Use the surveillance system to track the monster
● Obtain a weapon and face the creature in a final confrontation
● 2 possible endings — the player may survive… or not
● Minimal interface for immersion
● Single linear story
● Interactive tape handling system
● Player-driven ending system (2 outcomes)
● Jumpscares
● VHS-style visual effects
● There are a lot of secret details...
● and of course achievements
Approximate playtime: 30–40 minutes.
The game is a focused, single-session horror experience with a linear structure and multiple endings.
● Sudden loud sounds

Для первого проекта очень даже неплохо. Скримеры пугают, атмосфера давит из минусов только однообразный геймплей, но опять же делаю скидку на первый проект. Видно как автор вдохновлялся каталогом манделы :)))
cool game overall though a bit underutilized in a few things like the power room, backstory of the monster, and I guess the numbers that quickly appeared in the tapes since I don't understand what they are for. Another thing I didn't get was the sides of the VHS tapes making like a maze or something I didn't go too deep into it since it didn't seem important. I did enjoy the game however and I think its worth it for $2 just keep in mind that its a short horror game with mystery behind it https://youtu.be/dePybILQiG4

Довольно интересный хоррор, хоть и проходиться за 30-40 минут. В какой-то степени своей простотой он и привлекателен. Кассеты вызывают бо́льшее напряжение, чем какие-либо скримеры в игре. Из минусов могу отметить неудобное взаимодействие с предметами, то на F, то на G, то на левую кнопку мыши. Непонятно, зачем так сделано. Также в игре присутствуют баги, например, я проходила на плохую концовку, а после диалога у меня был просто черный экран, игра будто зависла, хотя по задумке как я понимаю меня должно было перекинуть на главный экран. Пришлось перезапускать игру. Надеюсь разраб выпустит патч хз
Игра «Channel 64» — это настоящее произведение искусства для любителей необычных и атмосферных игр. Уникальный визуальный стиль и захватывающий геймплей не оставляют равнодушным. Музыка и звуковые эффекты отлично дополняют общую картину, создавая неповторимую атмосферу. Особенно хочу отметить сложность игры, которая держит в напряжении и не даёт расслабиться. Управление интуитивно понятно, что позволяет сразу погрузиться в игровой процесс. Однозначно рекомендую «Channel 64» всем любителям нестандартных игр. Эта игра точно запомнится и подарит массу положительных эмоций.

the game was ok, its definitely not the worst thing i played here on steam but i just would like there to be more to the gameplay than what there is
It was a fun short horror experience. some areas did feel underutilized, like power room, but was a positive experience overall
Неплохой для получаса:)
неплохая страшилочка, есть потенциал на обновы
