[h2](Buried Tapes) The Cleaner (PC)[/h2] Buried tapes is so far a two-part short horror series presented in that granular VHS format from the protagonist’s perspective. The found footage gives us the time stamp of Sept 18 1996 when a person named Mary requests our advertised cleaning services at a residence numbered 356 on Terrence Spurs, which is located in the Three Village area. Upon arriving with no one home and a key left under the door mat, we are then given a list of chores with the last request being that we simply ‘Feed the other pet with the food being at the back end of the library’. Little do we know, that not only are ‘we’ the intended food for the absurd abnormal pet, but that we have also been cleaning a house which was burnt down to the ground over 40 years ago. This game is free and was constructed by a US developer named Isma Pal. It contains 3 achievements and jovially mocks the creepy pasta genre. I guess on the positive side I would never be out of work running a cleaning business in a 'Silent Hill' type of suburb. Below is the complete game by me showing both endings, the bad one where you get eaten and the good one where you don't… https://youtu.be/TqYpoQ…1 found this helpful
(BURIED TAPES) The Cleaner -review graphics- retro, good enough gameplay- decent, there isn't much to say about it audience- I would say 10+ it is not super scary pc requirements- potato will do the job game size- very small, +- 260 MB difficulty- easy, nothing missable horror level- not very scary, but it has few good jump scares story- some lore, you have to do a few household chores, while being hunted game time- short, +- 20 minutes (all achievements) bugs- none,I haven't met any price- free, great very big plus ?/10- 6,5/10- It decent short and free horror game, it would be very good but it needs to be more scary than now. You should try it if you are an achievement hunter or short horror games lover...
very good, very corny game!
(BURIED TAPES) The Cleaner is a short horror game that I think does a good job of making a very ordinary situation feel increasingly wrong. I play as Mary, a young woman who has taken a cleaning job after responding to an advertisement. At first it really does feel like I am just there to clean a house, but the strange atmosphere and little details quickly make me question what kind of place I have actually walked into. I liked the way the game starts with simple tasks instead of immediately throwing a monster at me. Cleaning stains, watering plants and taking out the rubbish sounds completely harmless, but knowing I am playing a horror game makes every quiet moment feel suspicious. I found myself paying attention to rooms and objects more than I normally would because I kept expecting something to change. The PSX style visuals work especially well here. The low resolution look combined with the VHS effect gives the whole thing an uncomfortable old recording feeling, and I think that is a much better fit for this type of horror than trying to make everything look realistic. There is something about the visual distortion and darkness that made the house feel much less trustworthy …
