I'm getting kind of tired of the itchio horror vignette games that make me want full games I know will never exist. You don't have to make 30 hour long slogs but the indie horror scene's increasing trend of 20 minute long games is spending ideas that could be fleshed out into long, great games into games like this. I don't mean to say short horror games are bad by any means, but the best short horror games still manage to play out everything in their arsenal. I don't care for Squirrel Stapler but at least it does everything it can do with its premise. VHS Paradise, like a lot of similar games I have and haven't reviewed from the itchio horror sphere, is a great idea not taken remotely far enough.

VHS Paradise é um jogo indie de terror bem curtinho que se passa numa locadora de vídeo nos anos 80.

Você está na pele de um caixa da loja e os altos índices criminais da cidade te faz temer e desconfiar de cada cliente que entra no estabelecimento, deixando um clima de suspense durante o tempo todo.

O clímax do jogo é bem construído e inesperado. A ambientação é boa e imersiva mas creio que podia ter mais referências oitentistas.

Os diálogos variados e cinco finais diferentes aumentam bastante o fator replay do título.

Ideia bem pensada que tem potencial pra se tornar um projeto maior.
