i really like the atmosphere , and this game really give me the creepy and weird feeling while playing it , overall a good game , nice job dev :) btw this is my gameplay
I am a huge fan of PSX-style horror games, and this game really nailed the atmosphere! I knew something was creepy in these woods, but what we found was just nightmarish! You did a great job, ToothandClaw (awesome username btw)
What a brilliant game. I love the PSX style and the audio. The storyline is creepy as heck and I wasn’t expecting the ending that I did. It’s soooo superbly done! I was a little clueless a d lost at the beginning of the game, but it didn’t take me too long g to navigate myself around the map. I can’t wait to see more games from you in the future.
Sometimes when i download it, it has an error that stops the downloading, and other times when it does download as soon as i opened it, it disappears like it doesn't exist, it might be my computer being over protecting about downloading compressed folders but it is pretty annoying.
This is such an enigmatic game... You did a really good job with this. It's become one of my favorite itchio gems I've found. Your games tend to have a mysterious quality about them that serves what you're doing really well. Anyway, I made a VO narration video about Harmful. I hope you check it out sometime.
Was an interesting game to say the least. The story was very transparent though a little out of continuity/ seemed to be in different perspectives? The roaming around with the VHS tape was quite interesting and was pretty sinister and a little freaky.
The forest and house area could have been used to amp up the horror-iness more by maybe adding bodies or footprints or newspaper things that might allude to what was happening there. Or maybe graves. But the fog and mysteriousness was still well achieved!
Great little game to play with a very in your face and apparent story!

THE MOST HARMFUL GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED | HARMFUL PLAYTHROUGH
Ohh love the dark atmosphere
Awesome game, love this style and the craziness of it all. Look forward to playing harmful 2 now :)
I loved it but I hoped it would be longer. The VHS effect is perfect
The gameplay starts at 00:23
That VHS effect tho.
Can you please make Harmful: The 2nd Tape always be free?!
Just pay the couple of bucks dude :)
It wasn't bad for a PS1 found footage horror game. I really enjoyed the ambience of the game itself. Fantastic job!
First
1st
For a 2 day game that's awesome! Great work!
Are there any jumpscares?
Not really. There's moments of static/white noise when the "tape" changes that may be considered a jump scare?
Nice Game I can Run this on my chromebook

Hi!
I really like both of your Harmful games, they are outstanding in my opinion!
I'm now working on a VHS type game too, and I was wondering what was the font you used for the text? Thank you for your answer :)!
thanks! Can't remember where I actually got it, but its pretty much this exact one: https://www.dafont.com/vcr-osd-mono.font
Let me know when your game is done, I'd love to check it out!
Thank you very much, this font is perfect :-) !
It is a pleasure to me, that You are interested in the game, I'll definitely notify you :-D !
Why am i having a hard time donloading this thing?
there shouldn't be any issues downloading it? Whats specifically happening?
Sometimes when i download it, it has an error that stops the downloading, and other times when it does download as soon as i opened it, it disappears like it doesn't exist, it might be my computer being over protecting about downloading compressed folders but it is pretty annoying.
ah I see, yeah it could be an anti-virus thing from the sounds of it
I love creepy VHS horror, there are so many true stories that involve this kinda thing. Can't wait to check out the next chapter.
