About This Game

What if the tapes you found weren’t just recordings... but warnings?
Playback is a first-person psychological horror experience that blurs the line between reality and memory. Dive into a disturbing mystery as you uncover the fate of the tenants in a cursed building—all through a haunted collection of VHS tapes.

You play as an investigator drawn to a seemingly abandoned apartment complex. As you explore its decaying halls, you find tapes left behind by those who lived—and died—within its walls. Each tape plunges you into a voyeuristic nightmare, showing not just what happened, but what should never have been seen. The deeper you go, the more the footage begins to feel... personal.

From flickering lights to ghostly whispers, Playback creates a constant feeling of tension and dread. Nothing is safe. Not the tapes. Not the rooms. Not even you.

🎮 KEY FEATURES

  • 🎥 VHS-Driven Narrative
    Watch tapes to relive the events that led to the tragedy. But each tape pulls you further into the darkness—and some things watch back.

  • 🧠 Psychological Horror
    Featuring disturbing imagery, intense atmosphere, and shifting realities. The horror isn’t always what’s in front of you—it’s what your mind fills in.

  • 🧩 Puzzles & Clues
    Solve layered puzzles, find hidden keys, decode safe combinations, and piece together scattered evidence to move forward.

  • 🔊 Immersive Sound Design
    Featuring dynamic spatial audio, ghostly whispers, and analog distortions. Best experienced with headphones.

Playback is a story about trauma, voyeurism, and the danger of obsessing over the past.
Not everything that’s recorded should be replayed.

⚠️ This game contains strong horror themes, psychological tension, disturbing imagery, loud noises, flashing lights, profanity, and violent content. Player discretion is advised.
For the best experience, play alone, in the dark, with headphones on.
