Game Modes
Campaign
Journey through a series of fascinating maps and uncover hidden VHS cassette tapes, each playing 3D music that guides your exploration. As you collect the tapes, you unlock the gates blocking the exits of each map, allowing you to progress to new levels. The use of the "eye" is essential for revealing invisible platforms and hidden enemies, which can damage the player upon contact.
Each map presents a unique challenge with platforms and entities that make every level unforgettable. The constant feeling of being watched adds an extra layer of tension and suspense to your journey.
Available Maps:
Home - A passage with magical mushrooms and a mysterious red door + A surreal path among colossal clouds and a large dark door.
Poolrooms Pink - A pink version of the enigmatic Poolrooms.
Poolrooms - The classic submerged and minimalist environment.
Nostalgicore House - An isolated house in a field, with a rainbow in the background.
Strange - A bucolic setting with a large tree and a morning sun.
Vaporwave - A landscape encapsulating the vaporwave aesthetic with vibrant colors and retro elements.
