Okaeri

Events in Okaeri as if recorded on an old cassette. The VHS style makes the picture distorted and grainy. In addition, special sound effects are heard - rewinding, movement and jamming of the tape in the player. In this setting, the developers tell the story of a Japanese schoolgirl who came home and did not find her mother. The girl goes in search, with the back of her head feeling someone's gaze.

The player is haunted by a feeling of growing anxiety from being watched. There are no sharp screamers, all the horrors are drawn by their own imagination because of the dark locations and what is hidden inside. The film effect can be turned off in the settings, but it loses a lot of the atmosphere..

Okaeri's game is short and takes only half an hour to complete. The heroine visits 3 locations, opens doors, examines objects on the way and solves several puzzles. In the process, new fragments of the past and the present are revealed - pieces of the puzzle that add up to a coherent story. There are 4 achievements that are pretty easy to get. For example, one is given for the fact that the character stands for 5 minutes at the desired point..
