The Last Tape – Chapter 1: Before The Mine

Before The Mine will be the first chapter of a small saga that we will be building little by little over the next few years. For this first installment, we are preparing many surprises that we are sure you will enjoy. In this announcement, we will talk about several important points so you can understand what this first chapter will offer.


Connection with Project Tape

Project Tape was our first project as a studio, created by only two people. Its purpose was to introduce the beginning of The Last Tape’s storyline.
Although it will be connected on a narrative level, it will have almost nothing in common technically with this first installment.
Over the past months, we have been working intensely to offer a more polished, professional, and atmospheric product—exactly what you deserve.

Project Tape acts as a narrative bridge to fully understand what’s coming.


Narrative Summary

Based on a true story

Chapter 1 is inspired by a real event that took place many years ago.
Out of respect and discretion, we will not mention dates, locations, or the people involved.
The game blends real events with fictional elements to integrate them into The Last Tape universe.


The Hellish Night of Mia Jane

During the 1990s, a group of friends went camping in the BlackWood NorthWay forest in California. Everything seemed normal… until it was time to leave.
Mia never appeared. To this day, no one knows what happened to her.

In this chapter, you will discover what Mia experienced that night thanks to a real recording she made with the camera she brought to document the trip.


A Parallel Nightmare

The tape is being watched by Gabriel, the protagonist of Project Tape, who is searching for a possible cure to the strange infection he was exposed to.
While trying to find clues within the recording, a nightmare-like creature roams the halls of the abandoned Lurmont facilities.

Explore, survive, and uncover the truth behind the disturbing visions that haunt you.


Technical & Gameplay Details

Improved Graphics and Lighting

Compared to Project Tape, we have greatly increased the level of detail, atmosphere, and environmental immersion.
Our goal is to deliver a more realistic, unsettling, and cinematic experience.


Price

We do not have a final price set yet.
However, if you want 100% guaranteed access to all content related to The Last Tape, you can already obtain the Support Edition, which will disappear once Before The Mine is officially released.


Release Date

The first chapter of The Last Tape is planned for release in 2026.
There is no exact date yet, but we can confirm that we will be present with a fully playable demo during the February 2026 Steam Next Fest.
