Its 90's, and your dad bought you VHS camcorder.
Bunch of your friends got so excited, so they came up with wonderful slasher movie script, and you are gonna record it.

Had fun playing the game! Nice work!!
SE ME CRASHEO APENAS ENTRE 😭😭. Cagada total, putos de mierda
This was definitely a unique experience !
So good and cool
Had to replay the game but this time i make it more cinematic. I hope so
a literal absolute cinema
Absolutely LOVED this game, such an interesting and fun concept definitely interested in seeing more like this, made a video on it if you're interested loved how my little film turned out:
Legitimately one of the best indie games I have ever played. Amazing job!
Go to Grazy Game?
ts pmo what do you even do;-;;;;;
Really enjoyed this game! As I mention in the video it took me back to my times as a film student and gave me a weird, welcome sense of nostalgia I did not expect going in. The chaos on set, the run and gun nature and not caring whether it came out picture perfect or not.
A very cute game and a concept I would love to see be built on. I can picture a few more interpretations on this set in different decades, 2000s, or maybe 2010s, with flip cameras and phones taking the place of the VHS, however I think setting it in the 90s was the best move as it keeps it simple and pre-2010s is when kids were more likely to try this sort of stuff.
Very solid experience, hope there's more like it either on the way or being developed by others inspired by this game!
I Fricken LOVED this game. Good job dawg :)
I genuinely think we are experiencing a birth of a new genre. I'm sure you'll be getting copycats soon and bloody hell, deservedly so!
It's such a fun experience and a love letter to the slasher genre! Well done! :D
Short but not bad at all for being game for a gamejam. Loved the idea of this and tried to improve my movie a second time haha. Made a video on it.
What a great game. I loved trying to get the most cinematic shot possible. The boys need a bigger budget, we’ve got a feature to make!
This was so good and unique! Good Job!
managed to flex my creativity here… in the sequel i want rewrites!
KNIFE MAN
I really enjoyed this game! It's an awesome idea to make your own movie with, and I had a blast making it! Awesome job!
Game made me smile. it reminded me the time i would record my friend doing random stuff. And i should read the description before playing, glad i didn’t. (i thought this was a goofy slasher game)
Game Of The Year
fun casual game
This was funny! Played it myself and posted it on YT. Fun game.
This is ABSOLUTE CINEMA and nice and fresh concept too!
what a new experience! it's all good! The graphic, environment and love the mechanic
This game was a lot of fun to play through! I really like how we literally play as a cameraman lol! Keep up the fantastic work!
any more games like this? I LOVE THISS!!
i love it !!!2!211
ого я оператор👍
Good game
10/10, would film again
Hi! Cool game!
Played on stream, genuinely creative and fun little experience! Makes me want to see what other shots people went for. Absolute Cinema.
I need a sequel! I was pleasantly surprised by this game, it was very wholesome and unique 💚
Running the web version on firefox on mac completely locked up my machine once I reached the second scene, I had to force reset my computer. Game looks fun though!
Yeah, i received multiple reports about that. Sadly, i cannot fix these crashes, as they are somewhere deep in unity part that i use to capture video feed. But i just had an idea, that i can try to detect sudden memory spikes, and stop game prematurely with some error message. I'll try to update web version within few days.
No worries, just thought it might help give some more info. If you want me to test a patch for you to see if something works or not, I got you.
Love the game. Really fun.
This is really fun little game, and such a good idea, well done!
