About the game

An analog-horror soulslike where you fight infamous internet emoji memes. When the smiling windmill stops spinning and every finger points at you, run. Swing an umbrella, throw empty cans, and survive one night recorded on a 2011 tape.

If you are about to play this tape

Please follow these rules.

1. If you see a windmill with spinning fingers, do not go near it. As long as the fingers are spinning, it has not seen you.

2. If the fingers stop, run. If the screen fills up with まずい, do not read it out loud.

3. An umbrella or a steel pipe will do. Just don't swing too much. The fingers reach you when you are out of breath.


4. Only the light of a vending machine is safe. Keep your empty coffee cans. There is nothing else to throw.


5. Never hit the turtle from the front. If it turns red, it is no longer a turtle.


6. If a breaking news caption appears, do not change the channel. It is on every channel.


7. If the man on the tape is smiling, stop the tape.
