    Juliana got "replaced" by the fae in between the first and second loops. Her name changes slightly (gets another n) and she doesn't want to touch the iron horseshoe. Iron was considered the bane of the fae and iron horseshoes were often used as talismans of protection against them. Many legends of the fae involve changelings replacing people with strange "off" versions. Julianna gets you to take it down, removing the protection.

      Also not sure if it's intentional, but the horseshoe is upside down for a luck symbol. A horseshoe with the ends pointed up is for good luck(it's "catching" the good luck like a bowl) where an upside down one is unlucky(since you're "dumping out" the good luck)

    Things about the Brazillian Culture that are good for the understanding of this:
    The Horseshoe is some kind of ward against evil here in Brazil. People back in the day used to put this on their door just to be safe. It was known to have an effect, specially against lightning storms. My gradma had one (or a couple).
    The plant is the same thing. We have a name for it here. It's tied to the same thing of Warding against Evil. If a plant is dying, specially this one, it means something bad is going to happen due to the influence of outside forces (usually people outside of your home who come to you and get jealous of something).
    All the other things seem to tie to some urban folklore of the 70's and 80's about cursed VHS tapes. But I guess that trope wasn't just spread here in Brazil. It's the same concept of The Ring or even Video Drome (Some people who get too stuck into their pursuit of the truth and then start to lose themselves).

    Hypothesis: Watching the tape puts you in a "tape reality" copying our reality, and with each iteration or loop through, the "tape reality" degrades until it can no longer sustain you. Given the forced decisions and forced rewinds, it may also be sentient.

    I don't know if the game is supernatural or not. But symbolism wise I think the game trying to critic the media and it's viewer in general. The phrase "Their lenses have become our eyes" probably symbolism for us, the viewer that stopped searching for the truth and instead consuming media mindlessly. The phrase "Turning off the vcs to slip their fingers" (I forgot the exact words) the word "their" probably implied to the government and the whole phrase gives meaning to stop believing the news and the government.
    Most likely though, considering the forest footage and the last video from the gallery I have a feeling this is just a prologue to bigger stories.

      I do think you're right on the media observation. It's on the front and center of the story, so it's safe to assume the game is criticizing them. I think the lenses quote suggest reality is more complex ("unnatural") than we believe and media edits reality to be much simpler to hide the ugly, unconvential truths of the world. "Them" being one of those truths

    _Very creepy_
    And very well done. The little details in this game were great in setting up the loop of events and perhaps driving the person(s) watching into another dimension of time. Juliana changed to Julianna and her personality changed. Then the confusion of the apartment number, the strangeness of the widow who seemed to have an influence over you at the window.
    That was a great catch about the horseshoe magnet having something to do with preventing an entity from leaving or entering. And I wonder about the role of those lightning strikes. That ending with how he got the tape was a surprise. And that too was being taped.

  • @samanthabrown8690
    @samanthabrown8690 Рік тому +215

    Besides just being a supernatural found footage story of "curiosity killed the cat". I think this story is also trying to show a little bit of the negative side of news media. I mean right off the bat our two portages aren't shown in the best light, their bothering a very recent widow, lying to her so they can enter her apartment and then using that time to snoop around without asking.
    The horseshoe on the first loop also interested me, yes it is a symbol of luck but it's something else too. I lived on a farm with my catholic family growing up and back then we used horseshoes as wards. You'd keep them upwards for all the good luck to collect and then you'd place downwards above a door so all that luck can spill out and keep evil from entering. With that context in mind it's interesting it bothered Juliana and she wanted it taken down. I don't think the two are evil necessarily but cleary they're not in the right either and they should have never entered through the door.
    I guess that's why the cameraman is given the ending where Walter (I assume) tells him he still has time to get rid of the tape and that it's not worth it and that he can slip through their fingers (their fingers being the government? Some head honcho of sorts?). He is able to hear this because he's different from Juliana in the sense that he was sympathetic with the widow and that he wanted to leave multiple times. He wasn't your typical news journalist that would do anything for a story. But what do I know I'm probably wrong lol.

    I'm pretty sure the game itself is the tape that plagues the cast. The imagery when Juliana is watching seems reminiscent of some of the environments and happenings in the game, and the contents seem to be able to change with each loop. At least, that's how it seems to me. Also worth noting the message as the game opens says that this is a tape owned by ComuniTV and reproduction is prohibited.

    I think it’s fair to say the dev took inspiration from Local 58. And the idea of entities whispering to you through a television screen called to mind Mandela Catalogue’s Metaphysical Awareness Disorder. The idea that you can be forced to learn forbidden knowledge you can’t come back from. To an extent, I feel like that’s what’s happening here, though obviously not just like MAD. It would explain why the characters dissuade you from pursuing “the truth” any further.

    This game has really a really good horror atmosphere. No jumpscare, no big monster reveal, no chase scenes. Just really spooky atmosphere and a general feel of uneasiness all around.
    My own interpretation is that the tape somehow gets its viewers stuck in a loop between timelines and alternate dimensions. That is why there are subtle changes each loop like Julian(n)a's appearance and personality.
    And the tape is pretty insidious in that it leads you to believe there is a true ending, but actually there is no true end. There are different "endings" but no big conclusion to the story. The only way to end this would be to stop watching ie stop playing. But the very act of trying to find a solution is causing the player to keep on playing, in other words you are trapping yourself in the loop.

    Another comment mentioned the Fae and thats why the horse shoe was there. Although, it could be a possibilty that this is a duplicates situation with more skinwalker type creatures, and watching the tape directly creates a copy of you as a skinwalker/duplicate. The horse shoe could be put there a long time ago by Martin after he was experimenting with the tape and realized that another one of him exists, so researched and found the Fae explaining the horse shoe. But it wasn't the Fae, it was a skinwalker, leading to possibly him killing himself or the duplicate killing himself or killing him directly to escape the situation. Just a theory, i dont know much about brazillian culture, but i think the theory of the tape creating some sort of "alternate" has merit.

    Cameras record, and thus decide, what we see.
    And eventually, the people behind the camera and in front of the screen stop existing.

    The tape... Im not sure what exactly it is.
    Its either something so engaging its effectivly a drug.
    Or it contains proof of media companies specifically engineering films to draw attention. Possably breeding an "entity" or playing god with a fact of reality or human psychi, without knowing what they are doing, and ignoring possible downsides in favour if money.
