Harmful

About

Harmful is a brief but unsettling adventure game that feels like stumbling across a corrupted home video you weren’t meant to see. You piece together fragments of grainy footage shot deep in a forest, where strange noises, flickering lights, and half-erased moments hint at something lurking just offscreen. The lack of clear answers or polished production only adds to the unease, turning the act of watching into a slow-burn exercise in paranoia. What lingers is the game’s raw, lo-fi tension. Built in just two days, it leans into its limitations to create an atmosphere of deliberate awkwardness. Glitches and gaps in the footage aren’t flaws but tools, forcing you to question what’s real. It’s a short experience but leaves a quiet, lingering discomfort that some experimental horror fans might find intriguing. Not much happens, but that’s kind of the point.
