It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when VHS became such a menacing aesthetic - it might have been Hideo Nakata’s 1998 film Ringu, which saw a remake by Gore Verbinski in 2002, called The Ring. Whatever the source, the fuzzy, glitchy visuals associated with VHS tape abnormalities are now firmly cemented in the popular conscious as something ominous and spooky, and that’s part of what Ode to a Moon is banking on. Ode to a Moon is a forthcoming game from developer Colorfiction, the creators of the glitchy, moody adventure 0°N 0°W. But this time they’re trading the ambient, low-impact visual experience for something distinctly scarier: a first-person survival horror tale about visiting a small town in New England where everyone has gone completely mad. You play as a tabloid photojournalist who’s traveling to a supposedly idyllic little town to cover a harvest festival - but when you arrive, it quickly becomes clear that things have gone very wrong indeed. And in the trailer, you can see some of the 0°N 0°W DNA: textures begin behaving in unexpected ways, walls ripple, and the world generally starts coming apart at the seams.
