Prism: Master Tape

Prism: Master Tape is a story-driven interactive game about a protagonist exploring a place on the edge of reality. The story begins with a mysterious movie-theater flyer and a man who has been away from home for a long time. As you investigate objects and move forward, a voice calls, “No. 237...”

The game combines a side-scrolling third-person perspective focused on objects with a first-person perspective focused on the protagonist. It favors a story-driven experience over traditional gameplay and blends eerie environments, white noise, poetry and narrated text to explore the flow of life in the universe, extraterrestrial and cosmic life, and the relationship between human and media development, reality and illusion.

You discover secrets hidden throughout the scenes and piece together clues. The images pay tribute to cinema, and the game presents itself as a movie to watch rather than a story to save and read through files. As the clues form a complete picture, you reconsider what is real and find your way out.
