A week ago I found this flash drive in the woods while I was on a hike. Finally, I decided to look at it. I found three files. Each had a single video clip inside. For the sake of this post, I’m just going to call the content of these folders “tapes”. The name of tape 1 is setam_yalp_wen. In the first few minutes of the tape, I thought that this was an amateur film put together by a bunch of college students. Then I thought it was a prank or a hoax of some kind. However, as I continued to watch, I realized I couldn’t be more wrong. Watch at your own risk.

-------------------

The Ones Left Waiting is an episodic horror adventure divided into three chapters. This Game is the first Chapter. Game is made with love, and created by one person. Game features original story, digital art, and music. 

-------------------

Four paranormal vlogging college students venture into the mountainous wilderness of Pennsylvania to investigate strange happenings near an abandoned mining town. A local informs the team of a forsaken mansion that seems to reside in the middle of these peculiar events. Although the team is used to faking their evidence for the sake of views, the specters they encounter in the sticks of Pennsylvania are anything but a hoax.

Tips for gameplay: Interact with lanterns to save your progress!!! You can't access your inventory or the menu while in game. If an item needs to be used somewhere, it will do it without the player having to retrieve it from inventory. Don't use the mouse, it's not beneficial to the overall experience. This is a puzzle game so keep a pen and not pad handy. ;)

Hello, cool game. Is there only one ending? 

The absence of a game menu is a bummer in my opinion - to try different things I have to close and restart game each time. Yea, I know quickload function would be even better, but I don't think it's even possible due to engine limitations... since I haven't seen any of RPG maker games having quicksave\quickload (only seen checkpoint system).


Also, can I ask you for something? I want to download all of your games from RPGMN.net, but the downloads currently don't work on this site. Can you gladly upload your games on itch.io or elsewhere please?

This was a lot of fun! I love the premise, the scares were sufficiently creepy and I really enjoyed the little details like the piano music getting more and more frantic during the final game scene. I know this game is a few years old but I still hope to see the rest of the tapes.

Omgg, I loved this game so much, I can't wait for part 2. I had so much fun playing this

Here you go! I finish this game as well!

I heard about your game TOLW tape 1, I hope I can help you for chapter select works.
I'm sorry I didn't played TOLW tape 1 much because I'm a YouTuber, I'll try to play your game for Saturday.
