There’s a distinct kind of game that unfolds entirely through a desktop PC interface, a genre that’s quietly gained traction over the years but remains oddly underdefined. Imprinted is the latest to join this niche, leaning into its strengths with a horror twist. Here, instead of decrypting files or piecing together emails, you’re tasked with restoring damaged cassette tapes left behind by a missing musician whose work carries a shadowy, occult vibe. It’s very much in the vein of Her Story, inviting players to sift through fragmented audio clues to unravel a mystery. The focus on eerie, analog media adds a tactile layer to the experience, placing you deeper into the unsettling world of a vanished artist. It’s a neat evolution of the desktop thriller that’s worth keeping an eye on.
