About Pink Noise

An American provincial town has seen better days. Now it slowly withers away, shrouded in fog and surrounded by endless fields. Time feels frozen, and it seems nothing can awaken life in Riverwood. But one day, a group of teenagers discovers a strange, unmarked VHS tape. Driven by curiosity, they decide to watch it, which sets off a chain of terrifying events. The tape seeps into their minds, turning their deepest fears into reality. You need to uncover the origin of the cassette and escape the nightmare before it’s too late. Try to help the characters survive — or lead them to ruin. The story will go on either way, but the ending may be hopeful... or not. It all depends on your choices. You can also influence the relationships between characters by making moral choices. Game features : • Hundreds of hand-painted frames with animated characters and environments, creating a cinematic storytelling experience; • The ability to influence the story and shape the fate of the main characters; • Nonlinear, branching narrative with multiple paths and outcomes; • A haunting original soundtrack that immerses you in an atmosphere of horror and mystery; • Interactive elements and mini-games that expand the traditional visual novel experience; • English voice acting for the characters; • 90s retro aesthetic. The first of the planned episodes will be released in 2026. In total, we aim to release five episodes, each taking you deeper into new layers of horror. Content Notes The game contains psychologically intense themes, stylized horror elements, and some scenes of heightened violence. It includes depictions of suicide, injuries, blood, death, disturbing situations, and emotionally heavy moments. The game does not contain sexual violence, sexual content, BDSM.
