June 2022
I absolutely loved this. As a tech demo/proof of concept, I don't think it could be much better. I love found footage & bizarre stuff, this very much was up my alley. I REALLY really hope this is made into something more robust, even if it's just a few hours. The atmosphere was so well done & uncomfortable, the confusion you feel asking yourself "what is this? what am i looking at? is that piano music?" just keeps ratcheting up. I adored this & gladly spent the $1 to keep it in my library. I hope I see more from this creator!

The aesthetic is perfect. Probably the best looking 'Found Footage' style game I've experienced. Sad it was so short I really hope there are plans to turn this into a full length game.

the static speaks my name
the static speaks my name A dark/sad/weird/funny first person exploration game. You play a man on his last night alive as he obsesses over a mysterious painting. More of a story game in that it emphasizes mood and character over gameplay. Takes ten minutes to play and has "next-gen" features like a shrimp tank.
