Evaluation

This game is the first episode of (BURIED TAPES), a planned anthology series of short psychological horror stories presented in a VHS aesthetic. The store description clearly frames the release as the beginning of a larger collection, explicitly stating: "The first episode of these tapes is completely free, more episodes will be coming soon." The developer has made a direct, on-store commitment to additional episodes beyond this first free installment, "The Cleaner." No news posts, developer statements, or DLC listings are present in the context, so the store description remains the primary and decisive evidence. The promise of future episodes has not been walked back or updated, and the game remains purchasable (free) with this language intact.
