Backward poiesis

Overview of the game

"Backward Poiesis" is a short horror game produced by a japanese student that recreates footage actually found.
Mr. A (pseudonym) moved to a new house and found an old video camera in his new home.
When he turned on the camera out of curiosity, he found that it recorded inexplicable and bizarre images.

This game is a walking simulator with a horror taste in which you relive the footage recreated based on the interviews, as if you were the photographer.

Characteristics of the game

・Story based on interviews
  I was contacted by a person who said he had found a video camera by chance, and the production was based on a proposal to recreate the footage recorded on the video camera as a game.The game uses audio from actual interviews and footage recreated based on interviews, depicting the horror based on actual events.    
・Game screen with a thorough recreation of the video camera footage
  Based on the interview with Mr. A, we used UnrealEngine 5, a 3DCG engine also used in film production, to reproduce the quality of the video camera footage down to the texture.
  The game allows the viewer to relive the mysterious images left on the video camera from the perspective of the filmmaker.     ・The quiet fear of wandering aimlessly in an inorganic space
  The video is completely unclear as to what it was filmed for and can be seen to be related to the online movements Liminal Space and Backrooms.
  The creator myself cannot claim to have completely understood the content of Mr. A's story, so I hope that you will consider the truth based on the reproduced video and Mr. A's words.
