silly & unique game. i love the concept of the game actually recording my footage and playing it back as the movie! that concept + an actually scary, filming found footage sort of horror game would be so cool. u know what i mean? definitely wanna see what u come up with in the future
Cool Game!

Enjoyed this game a lot
This was a very cute game idea 😊 I had a lot of fun
ME AND THE BOYS ABOUT TO TEAR UP THE TOWN TONIGHT!
Ran into the ram leak on browser, and this was worth the download. Great work on this. I did go into this thinking it was a real horror game so it was actually quite charming to find out that no, it is just genuinely filming some kids' film project. Real fun.
this game is so fun lmao, loved the result thanks for the credits man
Haha! I had a blast with this game. While it lagged a little on my end, it didn't take away the absolutely charming concept it had. The voice acting was so silly that it felt so nostalgic, just having fun with some friends and making something together. Honestly, this has been super enjoyable in both concept and story itself lolol
This game was a LOT of fun! Really cool concept!
i had soo much fun playing this game!! it was genuenly such a fun surprise and i even made my sister play it after me bc i enjoyed it so much
This is a really unique idea. I liked the voice acting and humor. Depending on your playthrough the final movie can be an absolute cinema :p. Cool Game!
This is such a charming little game, makes me feel nostalgic as I too would make my own silly films when I was little, although with less friends, makes me want to do it again!
absolute cinema, the film we all made as children
its way too laggy but it looks great tho
good game, good laugh in places
Ran into the RAM leak lol, otherwise the vibe was ON POINT(!) 10/10 would recommend ;)
Really great game. Loved the montage at the end
I give this a 6,7 :)
You should be banned...

Had fun playing the game! Nice work!!
SE ME CRASHEO APENAS ENTRE 😭😭. Cagada total, putos de mierda
This was definitely a unique experience !
So good and cool
Had to replay the game but this time i make it more cinematic. I hope so
a literal absolute cinema
Absolutely LOVED this game, such an interesting and fun concept definitely interested in seeing more like this, made a video on it if you're interested loved how my little film turned out:
Legitimately one of the best indie games I have ever played. Amazing job!
Go to Grazy Game?
ts pmo what do you even do;-;;;;;
Really enjoyed this game! As I mention in the video it took me back to my times as a film student and gave me a weird, welcome sense of nostalgia I did not expect going in. The chaos on set, the run and gun nature and not caring whether it came out picture perfect or not.
A very cute game and a concept I would love to see be built on. I can picture a few more interpretations on this set in different decades, 2000s, or maybe 2010s, with flip cameras and phones taking the place of the VHS, however I think setting it in the 90s was the best move as it keeps it simple and pre-2010s is when kids were more likely to try this sort of stuff.
Very solid experience, hope there's more like it either on the way or being developed by others inspired by this game!
