About This Game

The truth lies in footage that was never meant to be found.

In Playback '94, you dive into a compact first-person horror experience — VHS found-footage atmosphere that leaves you breathless. You enter an abandoned Post Office from the 1850s, where silence and flickering lanterns make the air heavy. From here, a clear path leads you through the rooms: yellowed records, old wooden crates, dripping water, and four VHS tapes that turn every step into a question.

The deeper you go, the heavier the air becomes.

The rooms feel clinical, like a forgotten archive from another time. But gradually, something changes. The tapes show you locations you're meant to recognize. Each photograph with your Polaroid camera triggers something that can't be undone. The place itself becomes the threat. You sense that something here won't let go — a story that's been waiting for someone like you since 1994.

In the end, only the last tape matters — and what it reveals.

A tight, 30- to 40-minute journey with no detours: Four tapes. Four locations. Four photographs. A story told through VHS footage, Polaroid evidence, and silence. You carry nothing tangible out with you — only an echo that lingers longer than expected.

Best played alone. Lights off. Headphones on.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The accompanying background voice, as well as certain sound effects, background music, and atmospheric audio elements, were created using ElevenLabs (text-to-speech and audio generation). The AI is used exclusively for voice and sound synthesis.

No other content (images, models, textures, story, or visual assets) was generated using AI. All other elements are either handcrafted or properly licensed.

The developer confirms that the use of AI complies with Steam’s guidelines and does not infringe on any copyrights.
