Unknown Tapes

About

Unknown Tapes drops you into a world where dinosaurs have taken over modern cities. You play as someone being hunted, using a first-person perspective to sneak through ruined buildings and darkened streets. The game uses found footage style with VHS and bodycam effects, creating a tense, realistic horror experience. You can't rely on hiding indoors forever, bigger dinosaurs can tear through structures. Survival means staying quiet, finding cover, and using your environment to avoid detection. The game mostly takes place at night, mixing claustrophobic indoor spaces with open areas where danger lurks. The game leans into Blair Witch Project-style paranoia with its shaky cam and distorted visuals. Photogrammetry gives environments a gritty realism, while your own voice can be picked up by the mic if you talk too loud. Most players finish in 4-5 hours, balancing exploration with the constant threat of being eaten. The mix of practical survival mechanics and found footage gimmicks keeps the fear fresh without overcomplicating the core loop.
