Total grimy/warbled VHS analog-horror throwback with Goldeneye looking characters and a fun nightmarish setting to explore. Laundromats suck ass and I’m so happy I have a portable washing machine in my apartment and don’t need to go to my local one anymore!
This game relies on jumpscares heavily but it’s also good at just being creepy without them too. Definitely feel the hard R rated horror movie influence here, nasty stuff.
A very easy and quick Platinum too, for a couple bucks you get to experience a short little freaky time. It’s like an obscure horror movie you rented from the video store back in the 90s fused with a crappy low budget PC game you found in a bargain bin. Cool shit

A short game, shorter than I expected, but a scary one with a nice plot. It crashed a few times, especially when I tried the Arcade or the portable console games, for some reason. We have a few collectables and objects to interact with, so exploration is recommended, I loved that some of them are readable comic books. I love the visuals, I love games of PS1 graphics style, it does give a creepier vibe in horror games. I confess I got scared a few times, mostly from unexpected jumpscares and the sounds. The game had a few issues with the sound, sometimes it was too loud despite the settings, I hope it gets fixed eventually. Some character models looked funny, especially their faces, it reminded me of the first Max Payne game.
An atmospheric horror game that came out of nowhere. There's been a serial killer going crazy recently, but you NEED to get your laundry done at the local laundromat. During this time, you'll meet the store owners and shoppers at the local strip mall while your laundry is washing. You'll be reading newspapers and learning from conversations that something dark happened here, but it's up to you to find out what really happened.
For being a relatively short game (I clocked just under 2 hours), I've found myself thinking back in it quite a bit. Definitely recommend if you're into quick horror experiences that are still quite unsettling.

Brief horror title done in a grainy PS1 visual style that gives a strong buildup mixed with a strange atmosphere as you interact with the locals but mechanically never really puts you in enough danger which starts to detract from the feeling of being under a current threat.
The main character finds dirty clothes around her apartment as her boyfriend hasn't done the laundry. Needing fresh clothes for a morning interview she finds the apartment's washer broken and is told about an old laundromat that is open 24 hours a day near the edge of town. She decides to take a bus there ignoring the warnings about a serial killer that has been targeting pregnant women. As your clothes wash and dry you are giving time to explore a small area where you can find clues about the past murders and area and talk to some local people often giving off a mixture of a strange or humorous vibe while maybe noticing the same car in the parking lot that you saw when you got on the bus by your apartment.
It's a good environment and visual style that does a lot right but you start to find yourself in situations where in most titles the killer would be stalking you and you would be in active danger and would need to sneak around but as you come to notice that you have no direct threat in these early sections it removes a lot of the possible tension.
