Our take on The Gretlow Tapes
The presentation foregrounds a realistic found-footage horror experience, but the investigation is notably brief at about 1.5 hours. Its scope is a compact visit to one abandoned house rather than an extended horror campaign.
What is The Gretlow Tapes?
Investigate Gretlow House as a university student and amateur photographer in Northern England in 2000.
The first-person horror game centers on exploring the abandoned manor, photographing discoveries, and collecting evidence in a photo album. The camera also interacts with memories connected to the house’s past. The story follows rumours of a woman who died violently at the manor and is said to haunt its grounds, alongside disappearances linked to people who stay there overnight. A found-footage visual style, oppressive surroundings, and foreboding sound design shape the experience. The game is structured as a short investigation intended to last about 1. 5 hours.
