 Hey! I played your game on my stream! Watch it to see the live review!  Here's the link for it: https://www.twitch.tv/spacematterplay 😄
Game Number 4
Moment on stream: 1:28:00

  I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts"

holy shit this was terrifying- amazing jo

This game was really strange in all the best ways. Incredibly stoked to see what comes next.

Mr Thorne Disaster is fucking amazing at everything sg for life <3

really sinister game😨 They should make a series about this on youtube!

Pretty spooky, but I wish there were more tapes! 

Just straight up good

You 100% should add more to this, It has a lot of potential to be a bigger game. Also to direct new fans towards to Mandela Catalogue series on Youtube! To say it was short it was great! Good work

This is amazing! Short but good, and the sound design had me on edge! 5/5 stars!

Creepy.

This game is pretty amazing! The build up from the beginning was incredible. Also, having never seen the Mandela Catalogue, this game inspired me to check it out so thank you! Fantastic job with the atmosphere, looking forward to your future work!

Very good game, very strange, an old VHS, I like it!

Author, you're right!

This game is just straight up unsettling lol. Really short game but still very interesting. I have a lot of questions. I really feel this based on like real like situations lol. Good Job Developer 

This game was interesting in that it kept progressing the tension up and up. It also took me down a rabbit hole with the Mandela Catalogue and I'm about to lose my mind. Love it!

From that VHS: Found Footage Part I actually got SCARED <o> LOL =D SO SCARY!

This is pretty wonderful. I love the increasinfly hauntological turn of creepypasta-urban legend style horror. I guess it's been there since 'Marble Hornets' and 'Candle Cove' and before, but your commitment to the analog aesthetic here is really impressive. Thank you.

i love this game, it was made well and it was scary, it was too short tho

OMGMGGGG I swear I really REALLY liked this game qq!

I hope ya make a longer version of this game, or more in this style cause that srsly creeped me out! so veru much great work! :DD

Here's my experience playing it! :3 the gameplay starts at 1:00! :D

I absolutely loved this game! This is the type of game where as soon as you press start you immediately get goosebumps. I totally recommend this to somebody whos looking for a great scare.

GREAT GAME! Recommend this to everyone, nice and short best scary atmosphere so far on this site. 

This is extremely unsettling. What an experience, it gave me a rush of nerves. Great job on the visuals and such!

Very enjoyable game, definitely worth playing.  Very good for  how short it is too.

Short but not bad at all. Wonder who tried to sabotage this tape... Made a video on it.

I liked the game. I hope you can make more games like this, this was criminally short and I hope to see a longer game made by you in the near future!

Really liked this experience, albeit short, it does really a good job of creating a very unsettling atmosphere.  The picture selection part was very good and would liked to have seen a few more but overall a cool little game .

This was awesome!!! I really liked this! It was so eerie and just unsettling in a great way. My only complaint is that its not longer! I enjoyed it so much, i was so sad when it ended so suddenly. Does the dev have plans to add to this game?

this is way too unsettling...i love it

i saw "made by thorne baker" and immediately started singing bed bug. didnt know this dude was this talented

Such a scare and a very well-made game!!

This was a really sweet, creepy experience, it was so short, I usually am not for padding games but in this case I just wanted to stay longer in this strange, horrifying place :D

I think the only thing that’s missing are subtitles, since some of the voice overs are so muffled (which makes 100% sense within the story but is still hard to hear). I did my own subtitles for my lets play just so people don’t miss any detail because this really was a beauty. 

It's a follow, it's five stars, it's a heavy recommendation from me. 

i didn't know it was inspiered by mandela catalog 5/5 stars
