"We didn't build the sign."
Those five words changed everything.
After a devastating storm sweeps across northern Japan, a rescue helicopter is dispatched to search for two hikers who vanished the day before. As night falls and hope begins to fade, something unexpected emerges from the mist: a massive SOS sign, carved deep into the earth. Minutes later, the hikers are found alive.
But what happens next is where the story begins.
The Lost Tape is a narrative-driven psychological horror game based on a real unsolved mystery. Built around the original narration from Nexpo’s acclaimed investigative video, the game invites you to not just witness the story — but experience it firsthand.
FEATURES
Narration from Nexpo: The original story, told exactly as it was — with added dialogue.
Multiple unique perspectives: Start as a helicopter pilot scanning the terrain; later, walk the trail as a hiker and investigate the case as a police officer.
Immersive horror without gimmicks: No combat, no jump scares. Just atmosphere, sound, and the dread of uncovering too much.

Built in Unreal Engine 4 with moody, realistic environments and environmental storytelling at the core.
But be warned:
Some things should never be found.
