You receive five videos from a friend, each showing someone’s final moments. Enter the recordings and experience the events leading up to each person’s death.
The first-person episodes take you through different locations and visual styles. Explore each setting, follow simple objectives, and encounter threats that may be visible from the start or concealed until later.
Between recordings, return to the protagonist’s apartment and use a computer to select the next video. The computer also offers small side games, while some episodes add distinct activities such as carrying a lamp or driving through a forest.
Players who enjoy the game often describe its atmosphere and suspense as effective, with sudden scares that catch them off guard. The five-video format, varied settings, and computer framing also appeal to some. Other reviewers find the scares repetitive or excessively loud, and consider the episodes short, uneven, or light on story.

People often film what happens to them. They want to capture an important moment, call for help, or simply leave a trace in their memory. But sometimes, such a recording becomes the last one of their life.
Your friend starts sending you videos. You don’t know where they found them or why they sent them to you, but in each of these recordings, someone dies. You will immerse yourself in these moments one after another and will have to experience what ended the tape forever.
You move through a series of short but intense episodes — each of which is a reconstruction of the last minutes of different people’s lives. Beautiful graphics and high-quality 3D audio will help you fully experience the game’s atmosphere.
In each location, your own nightmare awaits you: some threats are immediately visible, while others remain hidden until the very last moment. Each place has its own unique visual style and special atmosphere.
The game contains flashing lights that may trigger epileptic seizures.
