The artwork, effects, and lighting in every scene looked great. The ability to access things from different recordings in order to progress was a unique mechanic. Music & Sound effects were perfect. The story was mysterious & captivating. I haven't finished the game yet. Since voting is almost over, I decided to leave the ratings first.  Keep making awesome games! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

This was fun. I really like the idea of the four linked scenarios with the device tying them together. Very SCP. I think there's a slight issue with the Cybershop setup in that you can get locked out before using the keycard into the back room, making it impossible to complete Buddies. I wound up brute-forcing the last number but still got it haha. RM horror always makes me nostalgic.

Developer

Thanks!

Can you tell about Cybershop bug bit more? 
You can't entry back room or can't go away? (or can't go away, you can force exit videotape by Shift-menu /aka 'Run button'/).

Ah, sure:
1. collect money from Deimos Delivery
2. buy the items in Cybershop
3. leave Cybershop's store going south and trigger the scene at the red mist marker
4. obtain keycard from Buddies
5. go back to Cybershop... but you spawn outside the store and the automatic doors don't allow you back in
so at that point it's impossible to get the instruments in Cybershop required to complete Buddies

Thanks for info!

Nice! Good to see an rpgmaker game in here! Fun design, nice story! A little slow on the reading, but overall cool!

Really fun game. It's a really cool idea to need to hop between different tapes carring over what the player has learned. The puzzles where well made and chalanging. I got trough the entire game (I think), since I got 2 endings.

Overall Great game. Keep it upโ™ฅ

i like the art and aesthetics of the game. too much reading for me but i know others love this style of game so good job. i only got the ordinary ending but i wasn't very invested to go for others.

Developer

Thanks!
If you wonder for rapid get another ending, Box code is [code].

Hello, this is quite a fun game to play. Cheers to a fellow RPG Maker User. The videotapes are so cool and I love the plot. I'm a bit lost about what to do actually, I don't think I've seen the figure anywhere. I tried delivering objects and purchasing stuffs but always ended up dead :(

This is can be kinda tricky, especially becouse bad translation. =(
In ReadMe file i wrote the walkthrough.

In short, in every videotape you must finish some like 'quest', with using item from another videotapes.
After this in vedeotape you will have acess to Box code part, in some cases not direct (for example, in Cybershop you must boucght some item and exit the shop, next go south; money you can find in anotrher videotape...in another example, in Deimos-Express you must 4 times take deliver to right recipient and you will see some cutscene).

If you really stack, please write in there againg and I will try to create a video walkthrough.

This is what I call good time management, for this to be made in a week, pretty cool!

Developer

Honestly, I crunch a lot.
