Our take on Playback Trauma®: The Beach
The defining detail is the found-footage format: a camcorder frames the entire nighttime beach exploration and gives the setting its visual perspective.
What is Playback Trauma®: The Beach?
Playback Trauma®: The Beach is a 5–15 minute found-footage horror game set on a beach at night.
The experience centers on walking, exploration, and story as players investigate the area and search for the shoreline. A camcorder frames the game’s realistic visual presentation. Exploration reveals remnants of something corrupting the location, while the journey leads toward something beyond the clouds. The setting draws inspiration from a real beachside town in New Jersey. Sights and sounds support the game’s psychological horror approach as the player moves through the nighttime beach environment and learns more about those who came before.
