Freaky Feature of Found Footage

Freaky Feature of Found Footage is one of many playable mysteries that must be solved in order to bring the player closer to defeating the Old God of their playthrough of *World of Horror*.

## Introduction

*"Three students disappeared in the process of making a documentary about local folklore and legends of the nearby forest. Now, on the first anniversary of the event, a suspicious man has started asking questions. He claims to be a private investigator hired by the parents of the students. Except the parents of your friends didn't hire him. Who is he and what did the students discover out there?"*

## Side Quest: Witch Story

Investigate the MANSION location twice to complete this quest.

*"The legends say the witch was buried alive for kidnapping and murdering two children. It points you in a specific direction, potentially saving you some time..."*

You will not investigate the MANSION at any point during the main investigation, so you will have to go out of your way to investigate the MANSION twice outside the main investigation.

Completing this side quest reduces the number of explorable places to choose from during the latter part of Freaky Feature of Found Footage, making that part slightly easier. You will also obtain the Thorough Investigation reward at the end of the mystery, giving you 15 EXP.

## Progression

* *"Three students disappeared in the process of making a documentary about the local folklore. Maybe you'll find a clue about their last known whereabouts in the school newspaper?"* (Investigate SCHOOL)
* *"The notes mention a village not far from your town. You decide to take a bus. Getting closer, you can't help but take notice a large number of trees that have suddenly died. What happened here...?"* (Investigate DOWNTOWN)
* *"Everyone in the village is unsettlingly friendly. An old farmer points you to an old stone - the missing group supposedly started their forest trip there."* (Investigate VILLAGE)
* *"Looking back one last time, you continue deeper into the woods..."*

From this point on, you will be shown twelve forest tiles that you can click on to explore. If you have completed the side quest, the number of tiles you'll have to choose from will be reduced to nine.

* *"Looking back one last time, you continue deeper into the woods..."*
* *"You have the feeling someone is following you..."*
* *"You find a pile of human teeth lying on a nearby rock."*
* *"All the paths look the same. Are you lost?"*

### Target Location: Site of the Ritual

*"The rumored witch house seems empty. In the basement, however, you find a camera pointed at the large hole in the ground. On the table next to the camera, you see three cassettes, each titled after one of the missing friends. Then, you hear a curious sound coming from the hole..."*

Available options:

* Take Cassettes and Run (Triggers Ending C)
* Peek Inside (Triggers WISHING WELL event)

#### Wishing Well

*"You kneel down and lean forward to see what's inside the hole. It takes a while to process what you are looking at. It's a gigantic eye, staring right at you! Hypnotized, you continue to lean in, feeling weaker and weaker as the gargantuan beast lures you in.*

Available options:

* Lose Consciousness (Triggers Ending B)
* Pour Acid Inside (Triggers Ending A, only available if you possess "Can of Acid")

## Endings

There are three available endings in Freaky Feature of Found Footage.

### Ending A: Shunned House

*"You open the can of acid and empty its contents in the well. The house's foundation shakes as the massive creature's eye burns. Walls begin to collapse as you pass out from the toxic fumes. You wake up later with the cassettes in your trembling hand."*

To achieve this ending, you must buy a can of acid from the Hardware Store (SEASIDE) beforehand, then choose to peek inside the hole and pour acid inside. By completing this ending, you will obtain Forest Tapes.

### Ending B: Wishing Well

*"At the very last moment, the suspicious tall man grabs you by the collar. He explains he is part of a cult protecting the house and the mysterious entity below it. 'You've got a bigger purpose than to die here,' he says before knocking you out. You wake up a few hours later on a bus heading back to your town."*

To achieve this ending, once you arrive at the target location, choose to peek into the hole and then lose consciousness.

### Ending C: Tapes

*"Not being able to deal with it, you decide to grab the tapes and run. You wander aimlessly through the woods for a few hours until you are found by a search party. You lead them to the house, but... the door to the basement is missing. The case remains open."*

To achieve this ending, once you get to the "Site of the Ritual" event, choose to take the tapes and run. You will obtain Forest Tapes, as well as the "[EYE]: the forest is restless" reward, which raises the threat level of the forest.
