About
An American provincial town has seen better days. Now it slowly withers away, shrouded in fog and surrounded by endless fields. Time feels frozen, and it seems nothing can awaken life in Riverwood.

But one day, a group of teenagers discovers a strange, unmarked VHS tape. Driven by curiosity, they decide to watch it, which sets off a chain of terrifying events. The tape seeps into their minds, turning their deepest fears into reality.
You need to uncover the origin of the cassette and escape the nightmare before it’s too late.
Try to help the characters survive — or lead them to ruin. The story will go on either way, but the ending may be hopeful... or not. It all depends on your choices.
You can also influence the relationships between characters by making moral choices.
Game features:
• Hundreds of hand-painted frames with animated characters and environments, creating a cinematic storytelling experience;
• The ability to influence the story and shape the fate of the main characters;
• Nonlinear, branching narrative with multiple paths and outcomes;
• A haunting original soundtrack that immerses you in an atmosphere of horror and mystery;
• Interactive elements and mini-games that expand the traditional visual novel experience;
• English voice acting for the characters;
• 90s retro aesthetic.
The first of the planned episodes will be released in 2026. In total, we aim to release five episodes, each taking you deeper into new layers of horror.

很好玩,虽然只有一章现在,cg的表现很有力,cv也很好的体现了人物性格和故事但我希望可以正式版,故事也很有吸引力。,以及它不是一味的点点游戏或者是偶尔出现几个选项进行选择而是里面夹着一些小游戏,让我不是那么枯燥无味,可能是我没有怎么玩类似的游戏但我认为这是一个很好的设计。我希望可以把翻译就是本地化再努力一下,以及cv的语速和翻译字幕出现的时间匹配,我个人字幕已经看完了,人物语音还没有播放完,当然这个也可能是我个人懒惰问题,因为游戏是可以提供字幕出字的调节。但我认为这个一定程度上不利于玩家对故事沉浸的享受。 总而言之,我觉得这个游戏很值得一玩,不管出于画面还是故事
Arte absurdamente bem feita. Personagens distintos e com voz própria. A escrita é poética e sensorial ao mesmo tempo que se mantém simples e acessível. A imersão é absoluta e o jogo sabe criar tensão, aconchego e simpatia pelos personagens. O horror é forte e original, ultrapassando, e muito, o limite que imaginei que o jogo inicialmente manteria. É surpreendente. Pink Noise é uma surpresa extremamente agradável com um futuro promissor. O primeiro capítulo declara de forma incontestável o tom do jogo, que salta desde a criação de momentos leves com os amigos até horrores inimagináveis.
Давно знаю об этой игре, наконец дошли руки до первого эпизода. Это очень хорошо!!!!! Очень надеюсь на продожение, понимая и принимая все проблемы, которые обычно возникают на пути создания новелл, ещё и отечественных....... Большое спасибо за качество проделанной работы и внимание к деталям! [spoiler]Из маленьких минусов - опечатки и некоторые баги в анимации, т.е в одной из сцен в мастерской, при передвижении камеры монстр за холстом исчезает и потом появляется вновь, хотя так, как будто, быть не должно. А в сцене с Питером, где ребята дают сдачи, у меня буквально пропало его тело, ахааах, даже скрин есть: есть только его голова и рука, и ребята сзади толкающие его.[/spoiler]
Games super good even for its first episode! had a lot of fun just playing the episode and trying out new things to get the achievements so far! the narration can sometimes be a bit too long which isnt always necessary but then at other points it can get super detailed which really makes me feel like im there as well! Characters are also interesting and just overall a fun time with a good unique artstyle! Im so excited to see the next few episodes that come out and will be ready to play when they arrive :]
Не смотря на простенький сюжет, начало бодрое. Буду следить за проектом.
LOVE the art style and excited to see where the story goes!
Понимаю, что авторы хотели выделиться сценарием в стиле книг, с описанием, метафорами, водой для слова, но в визуальной новелле нужны персонажи, диалоги и краткое описание событий. Хотел бы я почитать книгу, я взял бы книгу. Но я играю в игру, и спустя 40 минут эти бесконечные описания дико уже душили. Если 2 эпизод будет с таким сценарием, я пас.
Супер нудная игра с хорошим количеством багов. Особенно понравилось: 1. описания в 10 степени. 2. баги с пропажей персонажей. 3. 0 обводок для взаимодействий (слава богу я экстрасенс с крутой интуицией). 4. примерно 10 заумных слов на предложение из 11 слов. 5. головная боль от затянутости сцен.
noioso come pochi
A really great game so far, I love the art style and the general plot idea. Can't wait for the further updates.
