It's an interesting walking sim for sure. I would like to see a mouse sensitivity setting in the game though. Other then that, keep it up.

Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont

Comments below clip:

"The Immemorial Order VHS" is a captivating short horror game, made by our fellow youtuber, Wicksley. A game that immerses players in a chilling 80's setting, preceding the events of the original 'The Immemorial Order' game. The narrative hooks players from the get-go, with mysterious and horrifying sounds emanating from a nearby enigmatic building, escalating in frequency and intensity. 

As the protagonist, you, driven by curiosity, frustration and a mixed feeling of anxiety and curiousness, run across the street to investigate the source of all that ruckus. 

As per usual, Wicksley masterfully weaves a tapestry of tension and unease, leading you and me to a shocking revelation that exceeds expectations in a profoundly positive manner. Wicksley's storytelling prowess keeps shinning through from beginning to the end, and thus offers a stunning horror experience that lingers  through your mind long after the game concludes. It leaves you and me eagerly anticipating more from this haunting universe and this wicked Developer :o]

Wow, thank you for such an amazing review and a very beautifully detailed description of this short game. Are you a writer? And thank you for making a video. It's very much appreciated. I really enjoyed watching. Have a great day :)

Hey Dan,

Motivation explained why I want to go beyond 'Awesome Game' descriptions: It has been a while since I posted something here. Of course, I have excuses, but they don't really count. Anyway, I've decided to turn my comments on games into a sort of sale's pitch, when I like the game, in the hope to encourage people to either watch, play or buy the game. @ https://www.youtube.com/@DanielRich_KingofCool/community

Yes, I do write stuff. Here's one example @ https://why-wait-until-tomorrow.jimdosite.com/stories/

Cheers,

Daniel
