The Forgotten Tapes: Twisted Forms

Great collection of games, and the perfect way to relax with spooky vibes for an evening. Only real criticism is that a few of these titles were too linear. I often missed specific triggers, leaving me wandering around trying to figure out how to advance. Devs are super responsive on fixing bugs and listening to feedback. Hub World: Really well done. Unironically, one of the best parts of the collection. Great tension. Opening scene was paced really well. I demand a loop option for the radio. The Sculptor: Love-letter to the old Resident Evil games, tank controls and all. Pretty fun, solid scares. Flesh Simulator: Very different in substance from all the other games I've played from this dev, but its definitely retains his signature style. Very well themed. Definitely made me uneasy. Vaporwave: Beautiful game, dev clearly has a sense for detail. **Small spoiler** The environment after the lights went out was very unnerving. It was WAY too quiet. Great job. Make Beautiful: My personal favorite. Very short, but had a ton of charm. The vibe of the character creation screen was a great. Nano: **Small Spoiler** Favorite premise and setting, by far. The idea that your body could be haunted by microscopic ghosts (or whatever those were) was really, really cool. I'd love to see where else the dev could take the idea. Autopsy: Scariest game, with genuine moments of dread and tension. Well paced, with solid production values. Second favorite title. Looking forward to the last game coming out later this year!

Twisted Forms has been a long time coming but gives us another look at the many horror games from different devs. The games are wrapped up in an interactive launcher which sees you navigating through a morgue in the dead at night & performing autopsies on bodies. This unlocks VHS tapes that act as the games to play on the TV found in the room. Once each game is completed you can move onto the next game. There is also a free-play option which allows you to jump straight into each game. Overall each of the games offer a unique experience with the morgue tying all of the games together. It's fun & well worth the money.

Another fantastic anthology of microgames, with some highlights with Vaporwave & Autopsy - well worth the priceline for the amount of time that you will have with each game entry. Great work by this collective of devs, looking forward to what comes next!! Strong product - 8/10

This game is a horror enthusiast's dream with its unique anthology format, offering not just one but eight spine-chilling experiences each with its own twisted story. Diving into these games is like peeling back layers of a dark, unsettling mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. From the unsettling growth of the Nano project to the eerie silence of a research center in Autopsy, each game brings a fresh dose of terror. And the interactive morgue hub? Genius! It adds an immersive layer, making the transition between tapes feel like you're truly uncovering something forbidden. What sets this collection apart is the theme of body horror, which is executed brilliantly across all stories. It's not just about the jump scares; it's the psychological dread, the grotesque transformations, and the unnerving feeling of your own body turning against you. The developers have done an outstanding job of weaving this theme into each game, making the horror feel personal and visceral. Plus, the promise of a free update with "The Fallen Spirits" just adds to the anticipation. Whether you're conducting autopsies, escaping from monstrous creations, or unraveling alien mysteries, "The Forgotten Tapes" guarantees a hauntingly good time. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a deep, disturbing dive into horror!

dissapointment, half the games were unplayable without freeplay mode and even with freeplay mode, the games themselves were either buggy, uncomfortable to play (in a design sense not horror) i get that these games are supposed to be a collection of indie developers works or demos of them but some of them were nearly unplayable with how bad they were or boring they were, definetly not worth my 10 dollars and 4 hours of playtime im sorry

Sadly I can only barely recommend this and only if you know the kind of thing you're getting into. Unfortunately, and unlike Analog Nightmares, there are some significant problems that really hinder the overall experience. For starters, I was forced to use the freeplay mode because the framing game for the story mode seems to have a bug where triggers sometimes don't work on the drawers in the morgue and that left me soft locked 3 times. Worse, you're forced to redo the little item hunt at the beginning every time you fire it back up. It's a collection of little games made by creators with varying degrees of team size and experience, so the quality varies significantly and that's expected. For the most part these at least are bug-free enough to be played to completion, but several of them lack any saving and a mistake part way through means repeating everything up to that point. Ultimately this meant I didn't finish a few of them. Still, if you're into this kind of thing the price isn't bad for what you get in my opinion. If the worst bugs are fixed and saving is implemented in the few games that really need it, it could be as good as its predecessor.

Very fantastic and good game to own. I had fun to play the Forgotten Tapes: Twisted Forms. Visuals are really excellent and VHS tapes being played can take less than an hour to go through. Love the first-person perspective on all of the games.

A collection in the likes of the DreadX Collections, with a low poly/PS1 aesthetic and spirit. A few bugs here and there, but overall a great collection of horror and gore games.
