The Summer Record

The Summer Record

8/4/25, 11:05 AM

The Summer Record is an interactive slenderverse project meant to harken back to the older days of the genre. Meant to be a slight parody and a definite love letter to the medium, the series follows a young man, nicknamed by himself to be L, as forces attempt to control the lives not only himself, but those he holds close.
... Also, his bathroom is DEFINITELY haunted.

After his father's death, Joshua receives what looks to be a computer game from his father's will, along with a note. He soon realizes that the game requires you to collect disks with audio information on them including how he felt before his death, and if Joshua decides to dig deeper, maybe even give his death the significance that his father always wanted.

Oakley's World

Oakley's World

8/4/25, 10:56 AM

Oakley's World is a virtual pet type game, that has several mini-games to it. In general, this initially seems cutesy. Until you get a bit further into it and realize there's more going on, than first appears. There's also the accompanying blog posts (at https://oakleysworlddev.blogspot.com/ ), that, at first, seem like just normal game updates (until you look a bit deeper and realize there's more to it than that). What exactly is going on?

Nick is an avid collector of N64 games, so when they are given an N64 game they have never heard of, simply titled "Dendron", they are eager to start playing it. However, it quickly becomes apparent that there is more to this game than meets the eye.

Eldritch Eclectics

Eldritch Eclectics

8/4/25, 10:37 AM

A mossy and dilapidated vending machine bearing the name “Eldritch Eclectics” is stocked exclusively with strange and grotesque curios. It never appears in the exact same place twice or looks quite the same. The vending machine always features a static laden screen, which occasionally plays unsettling broadcasts, including adverts for its own contents.

A dedicated website has been created to emulate the intended experience as best as possible. The website is an actual functional shop, selling real items. Secrets and puzzles are strewn throughout the website for curious minds to uncover the dark story behind Eldritch Eclectics and its curios.
