Will you really watch this VHS tape until the very end?
[WARNING] I had a 2026 cutting-edge AI analyze a "1998 VHS" I found at my parents' house, and things went horribly wrong.
CHRONO-SCAN: the latest AI archiving technology of 2026. A dream tool that automatically corrects old, degraded video and audio, even allowing dialogue with the records of the past.
You loaded a single, unlabeled old videotape. At first, nostalgic local programs and summer vacation footage are reproduced. However, as the analysis proceeds, the AI's behavior turns strange.
Mysterious noise mixing into the text. "Something with a crushed face" caught in the corner of the screen. And the eerie warnings the AI begins to output.
"Please turn off the lights in your room." "Do not look away from the screen."
Soon, the anomaly begins to erode from the 1998 footage into your reality. Can you keep watching the video until the very end?
