The game is working. You're the only one having issues.
And the fact that you created an account right before posting this doesn't make your words trustworthy at all.
This game was honestly really well done. Story and gameplay was awesome. Just a good story overall and sad.
Dead Tapes: Faded Father!
Overall, really liked this game. Story, sad, made me feel things, as you see the reasons and break down of the family.
Had some good jumpscares, does not blast you them over and over but had some well placed ones.
Did well with the atmosphere and keeping it tense at points where you knew something had to be behind that door or down the hallway.
Those commercials, unsettling haha
No issues playing, looked good, but would have just ate the pizza as is.
Being a small team of two and stumbling into this game, finished and was impressed, well done Nektogone!
Looking forward to your next project!
Very unsettling game!
Interesting game, and a very dark story! I had a good time checking this one out. Thanks for the fun!
Loved the atmosphere! German Gameplay
PTBR
best game i've played on this site. perfect amount of play time to finish the story in one go. keeps you hooked. not a ridiculous amount of jump scares so it's playable if you're like me. VERY AWESOME!!!
Cool Game
Bought this game here, and I have to say i really liked it. It got a lot darker than I expected and the story was told really well. This was excellent I'm looking forward to more from you!
Bought this game on steam, took me on a rollercoaster.
I have played games similar to this, but none have been this dark and real.
A man losing his sanity while his world is crumbling around him because he did it to himself is supurb story telling.
Made lil video:
This game had so many introspective moments within it. It’s hard to see, hard to hear a father speak to his child and wife in that manner, let alone treating them this way. We see that he was in denial and battling his own demons. This is a harsh reality for a lot of people.
They DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS! Dead Tapes: Fading Father

Amazing Game with a bunch of twists and turns!Hope you enjoy my play through and keep up on the great work Nektogone
scary
fantastic game really enjoyed playing it good story aswell
Absolutely fantastic game, with lovely aesthetic, spooky atmosphere, excellent handling of the subject, a great twist and amazing delivery and presentation. If I would have one single complaint, that would be that it's a bit too loud at certain points, but that's even less than a minor issue. Definitely a must-play of the scene, keep up the good work! Cheers!
That was a unexpected ending my jaw dropped its giving Bad Parenting vibes please make more like this maybe in the wife's perspective
What a solid game! My friend fearagon suggested this one and I chose to live stream it! This became dark within moments, and it did feel trippy! Some very unexpected moments too! Especially in the tape moments, very distorting. Good one! Here is the link to my gameplay at 2:02:53
something something sins of the father. perfect use of video games as a medium to tell a story in an interesting way. great work
good game, quite a few good scares and interesting level design, messes with you in unexpected ways.
8/10 would def reccomend
You showed the harsh side of what people actually suffer behind the scenes.
-Alcoholism
-Child problems
-Relationship problems

Thank you for the second Bad Parenting episode
Very traumatic and sad game. Hope this game inspires youngsters and adults to act accordingly, otherwise this behaviour arises!
holy shit, this might be the best horror game ive ever played
