the wobbly hand-drawn room with the CRT and the VCR shelf is nicely unsettling, and a horror about an overdue rental is a great hook. only got to the first call from the video store, so no scares yet for me

oh my gosh I loved this. I struggle with scary games but the literal hand-drawn on-paper art was charming and I had fun interacting with all the stuff. Unfortunately my head got eaten off by a video store employee while I was trying to make popcorn. So just normal stuff! Nice work :)

Well, looks like I didn't get eaten after all :)
Really interesting game! It's very well put together, and the art direction deserves a special mention.
