STORY

Looking for something to eat, we take any job we can get. Today is our first day at work. The task is simple - digitize old VHS tapes. One by one, the tapes drop from a small elevator built into the wall. But with every new tape, something starts to feel wrong. Your goal is to complete your shift and digitize all tapes - but surviving until the end depends on your actions.
