Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Pretty boring. Enemies dont pose much of a threat and the "Bossfight" is really badly telegraphed.
出乎意料还不错的小游戏,只打了主线,流程比较短,挺有风格,不过恐怖的点只来源于画质。门似乎有bug,经常卡在门里,[spoiler] 然后就是在女鬼撞光点那里我一开始没搞清楚是要干什么所以卡了一会hh[/spoiler]

I grabbed this May 8th, 2024. I thought the main story to The Tape was okay, and liked the VHS aesthetic. I decided earlier today to go through my incomplete games shelf in the collections tab and figured I'd give this another go for 100% as I couldn't remember why I didn't finish it. And, oh... I 'member... For a game ten years old at this point, The Tape is ok. I ran the story mode again to refresh my memory and, eh, nothing too memorable. Very short, fairly linear, the ocean of black "boss battle" was interesting, but that's about it. I don't regret replaying The Tape, but definitely suggest you grab it on sale if you're still curious on this one. The "Bonus Levels" though... My god. Out of the three, two are short and fairly simple, though very RNG-based. The Forest, however? A terrible Slender clone of monochromatic foliage that all blends into each other. I spent 3 hours wandering around the insanely large map (which is the final scene of the main story) and fighting my way through tree wall after tree wall, invisible wall after invisible wall, fat shame opening after fat shame opening. The pages are static and some guides exist to help, but good luck navigating the trees in one go. In short I have over 4k hours in Dead by Daylight and The Forest pissed me off to levels solo queue survivor never achieved due to all those damn walls and how bland it all looked. Overall the core experience is bland, but competently put together. The "bonus levels" can be skipped (especially The Forest) unless you want that full 100%. Nothing memorable, but an okay way to kill some time if you catch it on sale at this point of the game's existence. If not, just continue to let it pass you by.
4/4 achievements Dont buy this crap, please. I only got the four achievements because, after reading the guides, i thought it wouldnt take long. But as soon as i started the game, it was garbage. I bought it just for the profile background it offers, and i have to "play" the game for at least two hours to get it. I say "play" in quotes because i could have actually played it or just left it open and let the two hours run out. Anyway, i made the bad decision to play it and get the achievements. I was gonna quit after getting the first two, but i felt terrible seeing that there were two more. So, i finished it. The only redeeming quality is the atmosphere, but hey, im not asking for much from a 2015 game that probably had almost no budget. But please... u'd be better off not releasing anything at all if u're going to release this

The Tape 2015 пытается создать атмосферу классического хоррора, вдохновляясь такими играми, как Silent Hill и P.T. Однако, несмотря на интересную завязку — поиски разгадки зловещей истории с участием загадочной видеокассеты — игра довольно быстро теряет темп. Уже через первые 30 минут становится ясно, что проект страдает от нехватки идей и технической проработки. Геймплей сводится к блужданиям по коридорам с редкими встречами с пугающими элементами. Напряжение быстро улетучивается из-за скриптов, которые повторяются и перестают удивлять. Подача сюжета разочаровывает: недостаток диалогов и слабая связь между событиями оставляют игрока в недоумении. Плюсы ✅ Мрачная атмосфера: Декорации и музыка создают неплохое чувство тревоги. ✅ Завязка: Идея с видеокассетой выглядит интригующе. Минусы ❌ Однообразный геймплей: Постоянные блуждания и отсутствие динамики быстро надоедают. ❌ Слабый сюжет: История подана сумбурно и без должной интриги. ❌ Технические проблемы: Встречаются баги и плохая оптимизация. ❌ Скромная продолжительность: Прохождение занимает чуть больше часа, оставляя ощущение недоделанности. Итоговая оценка: ⭐ 2 из 10 The Tape 2015 пытается быть атмосферным инди-хоррором, но теряется в клише и недостатке идей.
Игра на первый взгляд мне совершенно не понравилась, но когда я прошел ее на 100% и получил все достижения, я по-настоящему полюбил её. Игра в меру сложная, сюжет есть, но он ни плохой, ни хороший. Она довольно страшная и нагнетающая, а дизайн просто лучший. В общем, я остался доволен игрой. Играть или не играть — дело каждого. Кому-то она может понравиться, а кому-то нет. Спасибо большое разработчикам!
BUNYIONS
The Tape is a psychological horror game that succeeds in creating an eerie, unsettling atmosphere with its VHS-style visuals and cryptic storytelling. The tension builds well, but the forest bonus map is a nightmare—dense trees and branches make navigation frustrating, turning an already dark setting into a tedious challenge. The protagonist's behavior often doesn’t make much sense, but that’s hardly unusual for horror media. The story is fragmented and open to interpretation, which adds intrigue but might leave some players feeling lost. While the pacing can be slow and objectives unclear at times, The Tape still delivers an acceptable horror experience.
