Development update · June 2026

Pixfork Games has been awarded development funding from the Norwegian Film Institute (NFI) to deliver a playable demo of On Tape << Rewind.

The premise

Something is out there.

You arrive at Fred Karlsen's isolated cabin. The physicist has vanished, leaving behind scattered tapes and one fragmented message. His voice crackles through static, unravelling and afraid.

The message is a warning.
