Games Like TAJRISH 1994

You are sitting at someone else's computer.

It's old. The monitor curves. The fan hums. The desktop is full of folders, documents, photographs — and video files with dates from January 1994.

The videos are not cutscenes. Open one and the screen fills with static, and then you are inside the recording: first-person, holding the camera, walking through the service tunnels beneath Tajrish station in Tehran. The hands holding the camera are not steady. They were scared when this was filmed. They get worse the deeper you go. INVESTIGATE THE DESKTOP

Go through the machine like evidence. Read maintenance logs and incident reports. Find passwords buried in paperwork. Unlock drives someone locked for a reason. New files appear as you dig — the computer has more on it than it first shows you.

PLAY THE TAPES

Walk the footage as the camera operator. A failing camcorder light. A zoom that shakes worse the closer you look. Sprint, and the frame pumps toward the floor. Do something in there — and maybe you see the consequences on the desktop.

PHOTOGRAPH THE TUNNELS

Take snapshots inside the tapes. They save to the desktop — grain, timestamp and all — as picture files. Your own screenshots May become the case you're building.

REPAIR WHAT'S CORRUPTED Some tapes are damaged. Footage tears, frames go missing. Drag a corrupted tape onto the recovery tool and watch it come back clean. The repaired footage has the same timestamp. It does not show the same things.

A quiet, horror story told through one haunted machine — set somewhere the genre has never been.

Single-player. Story told through documents and footage, not voice-over. A focused, atmospheric experience by a solo developer.
