CLOWNCORE ANNOUNCEMENT!

2025-07-04

First of all, I want to thank everyone who supported BANNED TAPES! Thanks to you, I’m thrilled to finally announce my new project: "CLOWNCORE" a first-person stealth horror game where you infiltrate a mysterious and sinister carnival that appears only once every seven years. The game features: First-person melee combat with breakable weapons and a stamina system to manage. Stealth mechanics hide under carts, inside barrels, or in the shadows using dynamic lighting. Interactive environments with various challenges and, most importantly, enemies that react to your presence, noise, and actions. And of course… clowns! This is a huge step forward for me, and I truly hope you’ll enjoy the game. If it sounds like your kind of horror, please wishlist it!

I recommend giving it a try, it's a short game but I'd say it's definitely worth the...

4/10 I would recommend getting this one on sale. The basic idea of the game is you find blank VHS tapes at a garage sale, view them one by one looking for images of death, gore, shock, paranormal activity, and scary scenes. You put the best of the clips together to create a ultimate compilation horror video. Not much of a game, you spend most of the time clicking through short scenes of each VHS tape. Report...
