This is a fun little horror game inspired by Emily is Away and Hypnospace Outlaw. It sees you entering a long forgotten virtual world after finding someone's old computer in a garage sale. It's got some great puzzles and the ending is cleverly done. Hope you enjoy it! :)

I expected to be terrified with scary images with a ghost girl. Instead, i was terrified of the exsitential fears this game pulled right back out of me. Holy shit this one was good, thanks for playing this, Bobbert.

This game is honestly terrifying to think about. Uploading yourself onto the internet to stay alive forever and forget the hardships and worries of life, only to be abandoned for decades on outdated hardware and slowly going mad from isolation as the souls around you scream out in indescribable agony from mental torture and anguish but being unable to die. I feel terrible for Liz, especially at the end when the server crashes because there's too much memory taken up. It sounds absolutely nightmarish to exist in such a state, and to have your last hope torn from you sounds absolutely heartbreaking. This game really does bring out an existential fear of being forgotten, and the horror aspect is honest played out really well alongside a lack of cheap jumpscares which truly makes this such a good game. This honestly really opened my mind to how much I take for granted in life, which definetly wasn't something I expected to happen at 2 in the morning. Here's to hoping the developer makes more games like this!

I got a lot of the same feelings from this as I get from watching the video for Placebo's cover of "Running Up That Hill". It's full of low-res blurry fan submitted videos of people lip syncing the words to the song. All those... lives frozen at that moment in time. I always get the feeling that they're yearning to be remembered.

This hit in all the right nostalgia pressure points. Got me thinking about my old Yahoo Instant Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger friends from back in the day. I still talk to a handful of my friends from that time, but about 90% of them are just gone from my life, moved on to bigger and better things (I hope, at least). Honestly this made me more sad than scared, not that that's a bad thing.

I like how each image is opened in a cascade style, each appearing slightly to the bottom right, like it does in Windows OS.

A lost media horror game with a sad story? Totally in.

New here, was expecting over the top commentary over an indie game but was pleasantly surprised at a straight to the point quiet play through!

Finally, a good horror game without any jumpscare. Such chilling vibes and atmosphere for a short game

Wow... MSN. Haven't heard of that in like forever. Hands up to everyone old enough to remember what MSN is.

So the lesson is: When uploading your mind into a Computer programm, make sure it has internet access to not get stuck.

This is precisely why I think that to 'live forever' would be more of a curse, than a blessing.

I loved it so much. The nostalgia ambient was ON POINT. I felt back in the 00s and it was awesome

This was really interestiung to see! The psychological horror paired with the offsetting images and sorrowful emotions was really cool

All 90's games of "social videogames" be like:

This reminds me of the Cult in a Dead MMO as covered by Nexpo.

I wonder what happened to Liz's physical body? In my opinion, it is possible that her body was missing and no one are able to found it ever since thanks to that ritual she did beforehand. Lawson said that he have been messaging her every year since she left and hoping that she will reply. He even visited her, left some flowers and some Hi-Chew (some sort of candy) and interestingly both of the items are common for someone to visited a dear relative who passed away or went missing as a remembrance. However, my argument is of course far from perfect thanks to the lack of proof or detail in the game, so feel free to discuss this. Thanks!

Man this game reminds me of how much rumors about satanic cults inside these type of games existed. It was a huge thing then, I swear every online game had one creepypasta like this.

This is one of the best games ive played. Its very well done, the style, music and gameplay. This game scares me alot, not becuse of creepy jumpscares like most games but, the plot. The thought of living forever...being forgotten. God this game is very well done! Must play. 👍👍👍

That LoseAmp player album is certainly one of the albums of all time. Leave it to a youtube ad to scare the sh** out of me when you tried to enter OtherWorld for the 2nd time. You went light-speed. Had to pause to read some text and damn you just already know the solution to these puzzles?

Actually, there's 'only' about 4 billion videos on KZread. Assuming an average length of about 10 minutes, that's 40 billion minutes of content. Doing the math, that works out to about 76,000 years... Shorts and replays will invariably skew that number, but you're not getting much more than an order of magnitude out of that at best... I guess as long as KZread continues to exist and new videos keep getting uploaded, you'll be okay... but that's a big 'if.'
