Will you really watch the VHS tape until the very end?
[WARNING] I used a 2026 AI to analyze a "1998 VHS" I found at my parents' house, and something went horribly wrong.

Soon, the anomaly from the 1998 footage begins to erode your reality in 2026. Can you keep watching the video until the very end?
