About REC: Beyond The Lens

✦ AI summary

Explore a haunted house armed only with a body camera and flashlight as you uncover the dark truth behind a witch's vengeful curse in this claustrophobic first-person investigation. Navigate cramped rooms, interact with mysterious objects, and survive supernatural encounters in an intense 10-30 minute journey through realistic, terrifying environments.


A few years ago, in a small town, there lived an elderly lady who was always considered different by the locals. Rumors and superstitions gripped the community, attributing dark powers and mystical abilities to her. The old lady was labeled a witch.

Over time, his opinion deteriorated further. The community's fears and prejudices completely isolated her, and she found herself deprived of any meaningful human contact. Alone in her house of instruction, she found solace in solitude, though solitude allowed dark thoughts to take over her mind.

She then began to be carried away by demonic influences, exploring occult knowledge and practicing forbidden rituals. She succumbed to the darkness, fueled by the anger and bitterness that life had inflicted on her. Isolation and rejection resisted her for a self-destructive journey.

So, from that moment on, strange things had happened in that city, disappearances of young people and adults, without any explanation.

2/10 as Tuvok from Spaceballs once said : We Ain't Found ♥♥♥♥ this is because you can hardly see anything

The best part of this one was guessing if the left click or E key would work when you tried to interact with something. All jokes aside, this is a good project for the price and length of the game

This one is gonna be a non-rec for me. Between the fish-eye type lens with minimal visibility & no obvious way to correct it. After pressing random keys on the keyboard I assumed I was looking for a light for the candles (there was none), a flashlight (there wasn't one), a torch (nothing again) & even a night vision possibility which never showed up. This was essentially a dark walking sim that leaves you hanging about in the various rooms until something happens that culminates into a white screen ending with nothing really being learned. Supposedly an old woman in black is kidnapping kids but not once did I see an old woman in black, just a random chick in white. IDK if this was a first attempt at a game or not, but as is I cannot recommend tbh. It leaves a lot to be desired while attempting to tell a story we've all heard before with nothing new to make it worthwhile.
