A postcard inspired visual showcasing the game ESSOMENIC alongside the LAGS showcase on Steam.
A video beginning with the sound of a light turning on, accompanied by a series of abstract mosaic pictures zooming out revealing the word 'ESSOMENIC.' Various clips of gameplay footage follow, including a strange terminal, a red lit facility space, an enigmatic phone call warning of danger, and printed dialogue pleading for their memories to stop being tampered with. The clip closes with what appears to be analog footage of a door, closing with the sound of knocking and the text 'ESSOMENIC' again.
8 second clip with a static screen cutting to an abstract ASCII silhouette of what appears to be a building's outer facade.The scene has an moody ambient backing track but is quickly interrupted with a black screen and text proclaiming "they knew", as the camera draws closer to the distorted building and the sound of a heartbeat monitor fades in, followed by a cut with follow-up text "all along." The building suddenly draws into focus revealing a grainy photograph of a cabin in various angles, and the text then asks "WHY ME?" with the heartbeat accelerating. The point of view is transplaced to a new location of disorienting checkerboard tiles as the music blares into a panic, followed by a swift retreat through a static exit to the unknown.
10 second clip with eerie haunting music playing. Shadowy figures conspire in the upper right screen corner; a distorted fleshy looking item appears at the bottom right; to the left there is a distorted TV screen with the words "please let me forget" on it; a larger screen behind it looms with ominous and unclear directives. Throughout the duration of the video, a type of computer console is visible displaying commands pertaining an alleged patient and their memories. There is a shadow on the wall that seems to be looming over the point of view.
